I know that a couple of years ago Poland used to be a very homogeneous country where most people were ethnic Poles. So most people had light eye pigmentation (blue/green/grey eyes) and light skin tone. And after that, there has been a lot of genetic mixing with people of other ethnicities. So as a result, there are more Pontid types in Poland. So the light skin-light eyes population must have deceased. But my question is, has it decreased significantly? Do a majority of Poles have lighter features? When I search Polish people on Google, a significant number of results show people with black hair and slightly dark skin. Is this the most common look in Poland nowadays?

What? Majority of Poles look very Slavic, and fair. And I saw lot of them. I think they are one of nations that mixed the least.

PS ''dark'' Poles don't really look exotic to me, just normal darker Slavic phenotypes.

My great-grandparents looked stereotypically Slavic as can be.

My grandmother was from Warsaw, she looked Slavic-Baltic indeed, fair skin and very light colours too.

What ethnicities Poles are mixed with at first place?

At least he's not an ignorant European, he's pretty far from our territory, that would be a little excuse :p
