Why are white people the only race with different hair colors?

White people have hair of all colors, but as far as I know, people of all other racial backgrounds only have black hair. Why?Why are white people the only race with different hair colors?
and I wonder why white people are also the only race with different eye colours.Why are white people the only race with different hair colors?
Melanin not only effects skin pigmintation but eye color, hair color, etc as well. It effects inheritable traits in such ways:





A black will almost always have black hair and black or brown eyes.





Asians also have excessive melanin content, only they are not as dark in skin color as blacks. They usually have black eyes and black hair.





Whites who are ';melanin challenged'; can have a variety of green, blue, or brown eye colors and different hair colors.
Whites tend to exhibit more diversity in hair/eye color than most other groups but not always. Australian Aborigines sometimes have lighter hair in addition to black, and some East Asians and sub-Saharan African groups might have dark brown rather than black hair. Though I will say to the people who claim that African-Americans and Latin Americans also exhibit such diversity, this is true, but it's largely due to European admixture. Many (if not most) Latin Americans are at least partially European in ancestry, and many African-Americans also have some European admixture, giving some lighter hair, skin tones, and eye colors.





Middle Easterners also vary in hair/eye colors and they are also Caucasians. Quite a few Afghans, Iranians, Armenians, Turks, Syrians, and even North African Berbers have lighter hair/eyes. I don't really know why it's mostly Caucasians who vary in hair/eye colors, but I'm guessing they popped up as genetic mutations somewhere back in time due to climatic adaptation (i.e. lesser sunlight) and just stuck. Hence in some Caucasian populations, those traits became more pronounced, whereas in others, not as much.
You don't know very far then do you? I know lots of African Americans with red hair, myself included. NATURAL red hair. I'm sure that there is some biological, genetically correct answer for your question if it were reworded to read ';why do most races have dark hair color,'; so if you really care (I'm fairly sure you don't!), ask this question in another category such as science/nature. Or google it.
this is because of migration and evolution. social selected traits of beauty also play a role. just as european folks developed lighter skin because of less sunlight (as apposed to africa, when darker skin is preferable), we also had the luxury of localized traits developing. to put it simply, europe was a forgiving climate, and europeans had less natural restrictions on development.
They do, I guess you just haven't met one with natural red or blonde hair.





And to MJ Obsession: There are black people with different eye colors, too. One of my friends is black and has blue eyes. It's just not a common trait among African-Americans.
because in the cold climates their ancestors came from they didn't need as much sun protection as other races did but they needed Vitamin D and their lighter skin, eyes and hair is good at getting Vitamin D from the sun


few people in other races have different hair colours, but only few
I don't know i wonder why White people are the only race with different hair colours because Black people Asian people Polynesians Australian Aborigines and Native Americans are the races that have Black hair.
No that's not true.Many other races have different hair colors.Mexicans,Spanish have blond hair as well as black.Jews have red hair.African albinos have white hair.
I've seen natural red headed and blonde black people before, mostly mixed races, but some dark races too. Also latinos with different colors so it's not just whites
maybe because white people are so innately racist that they think that people of each other race all look the same and dont realize that black people differ from one to another, asian people differ from one to another, etc.
The different hair colors and eye colors arose from random genetic mutations that occurred in Europe long ago.
where do you live? Inside a hole? you need to get out more!!





all races have people with different color hair...


black people, Hispanic people, etc
I've seen black people with natural red and blond hair.
Light hair dye's easier? IDK ask God
bcuz of all the urine we wash our hair with
