Nothing like reinterpreting history through 'the lens' of today's societal trends.

they spread out and conquered a lot of people so they were bound to have sex with some non blonde and blue eyed women. They were mostly white, blonde and blue eyed tho.

Reminds me of the line in Midsommar.

Something like, Swedish women are beautiful because they went round the world and kidnapped all the beautiful women and brought them home.

Exactly. I'm not posting this to bitch about "muh blue eyed Vikings". I'm just highlighting how everything, even the most banal and well-known thing like this, is now a reason to lecture people about how "you ignorant folk never knew anything until this stunning and brave new era".

the video and scientist in the video are both wrong. the study he references debunks itself

More like:
Whites were much more spread out in the past. Way into central asia, north africa, middle east etc.
Now whites have been replaced in those places and suddenly "asian" is reinterpreted as "diverse" even if in the past they weren't diverse.

I am sure they sampled the local honey.
