The idea that an "Aryan" race is blond and blue-eyed, comes from the Northern European location, where much of the "native" population has those traits. A lot of conquering peoples have had similar views based on how their people looked. They just don't get the press because they generally didn't kill six million people who looked different. It isn't a new idea.
