Well......the reason that there's so much "Cherokee" in whites actually -is- because they could pass for whites. It's also due to the fact that "Cherokee" was more socially acceptable than "Black" to those with african american heritage...again, who could pass for white. It was a safer bet, both for cherokees and blacks -for quite some time- to be "white" if they could manage it. In the case of blacks, it was due to oppression by whites pretty much start to finish...but in the case of the cherokee...it was actually due to oppression by -other- native americans initially...not that they wouldn't get their turn getting shafted by the pale faced devils...lol.
Oh, what tangled webs we weave.
Thing is, blue eyes and blonde hair doesn't really lead to the sentiment you're expressing. All you need to have (discounting mutation and disease), to have blue eyes...even if you're black..is -some- european ancestry on -both- sides of your family. It can be a relatively insignificant amount, compared to the overall pie....and it can be quite a few generations back with no more european heritage in between.
The blonde hair bit..well, you'll have to take that up with oceania, where occurrence of blonde hair is about the same as it is in europe....and the two traits simply aren't related -at all-. It's not even close to the blue eyes bit above, where there really is only one -hereditary- path.
So, if you see a "black" person with blonde hair.....sure, they may have european ancenstry.....but they might also be from the Solomons. If you see a native american with blue eyes, sure...he has -some- european ancenstry...but it might only be two individuals (accounting for the potential of rape, which really can;t be ignored if we're talking about the historical relationship between europeans, native americans, and heredity in this country....it might only be one....) and it might go all the way back to 1800's (or further) as a recessive trait carried. My cousin Cletus, for example.....aint white....but he does have blue eyes. My highschool sweetheart was as blonde as blonde could be......but she didn't have any european ancenstry as far as anyone in her family knew.
So maybe be less harsh.
