There's just something I find off-putting about blue eyes and blonde hair, that's all.
I'm not being racist, just showing the opposite of what the Nazis embraced. Their point of view seemed extremely one-sided to me. Everyone likes different things.
It does get boring after a while, if all you're seeing are blond, blue-eyed people all the time.
What made me mad was a Japanese girl who came to America and was in my drama class, and she actually assumed the only Americans in the class were the blond-haired, blue-eyed ones! And yet here she is, surrounded by students who are Hispanic, black, Persian, and whites who are not blonds with blue eyes! And 99% of them were born here in the States! I have light brown hair and hazel green eyes, but I am American, thank you. I really did not like that generalization :(.
I don't like to categorize anything by country or even species. I see all lifeforms on this planet as Earthlings because that's just how enlightened I am. Honest. I took a trip up north to the Yukon and got myself into a scrape when I tried to put a polar bear on a fishing hook because I thought it was a worm.
shareJapan, despite being ethnically diverse, is very homogenous. A lot of them have only seen black people online and on brochure pamphlets, so their attitudes are reinforced through circumstance through no fault of their own. Hopefully, the girl realized that America was not like her homeland and needed to challenge her preconceptions.

If you're "just showing the opposite of what the nazis embraced", then you are being racist. The opposite of racist isn't non-racist, but racist on the opposite end of the scale.
It is perfectly fine to have preferences, but when you feel the need to lay them out like this without invitation to do so, then I have to question your motives.
I think that the point of this movie is to parallel the Nazis to the Philistines, who were the biblical enemies of the Hebrews.
shareThe idea that Nazis were all about blonde hair and blue eyes is a cartoon caricature myth about them. Only a small percentage of Germans are even that. There was no plan to breed everyone to have those attributes.
shareIt's not exactly racist. More like "eye-ist" and "hair-ist".
shareYou are kidding or you are racist. I don't really give AF which.
