Why do Americans have white/pinkish skin and blue eyes?

[Anonymous]

I live in Canada; the land of all races and creeds (Just go to a Maple Leafs/Blue Jays/Raptors game in Toronto for example). When I go down to Washington State, Montana, Minnesota, Michigan, New York State and New England... all I see is pink skin and light eyes. Something I rarely see in Canada.

Do Americans not like diversity or something?

Not all Americans do. It comes from European (Celtic) decent so only those with that dna will have it.

What's "Celtic" mean?

Plus I have never seen a Canadian that looks like that.

Celtic would be the land that was ruled by the ancient Celts. So Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England and then parts of Northern Europe. I’m not sure why Canada wouldn’t have more of these traits because France was controlled at one point by the Celts. But your question was about America which I can answer. The locations that you visit must have a larger population with people with that dna.
