Aryans 'r U.S,
Just to show, though, that I haven’t completely lost my head to rambling thoughts of useless stuff, here’s something.
Nice insight into what “racial” types are popular here in the US—Aryans.

U.S. sperm banks are running low on donor sperm that can produce blond, blue-eyed Scandinavian babies, the result of a 2005 U.S. Food and Drug Administration ban on sperm from any European countries with exposure to mad cow disease.
The move effectively eliminated donors from Denmark to the United Kingdom.
While some U.S. sperm banks have had enough frozen stocks to cope with the demand, they are now running low.
"We still have a little bit left, but not much," said Claus Rodgaard, manager of Cryos International, a Danish-based sperm bank with an office in New York.
"We're not here to promote people to have blond, blue-eyed babies, but if those are the kinds of characteristics you're looking for, then Danish sperm is good for that," Rodgaard said. "That's all we have in Denmark."
