Imagine if everyone could change their skin like they change their clothes every day. Sometimes black, sometimes white, sometimes purple, sometimes green - as they please. Would that make them a different person? Hardly. But many people believe that people with certain skin and hair colours have certain good or bad qualities. Good angels are usually depicted as blonde and wearing white clothes. Evil witches, on the other hand, are often depicted with red hair and black clothes. Where does this classification of skin and hair colours come from? And why do people think up such strange correlations in the first place? We want to find out together with you.
