Eye color, a heritable characteristic, is determined by the amount and type of pigment in the iris. The genes responsible for eye color exhibit complex inheritance patterns, leading to a spectrum of hues observed across various populations. There is no single, definitive eye color associated with a particular ethnicity or religious group.
Genetic diversity within populations results in a wide range of physical traits. Attributing a specific physical characteristic, such as eye color, to a broad group of people can perpetuate inaccurate stereotypes. Historical migrations and intermingling between different groups have further contributed to the diversity of genetic traits within any population.
