They are common, Dorcas' extreme blondness is not remarked upon.

I never really understood this point.   Isn't there somewhere in the BOTNS
where Severian says that it is known that each continent has a pattern for
humanity, and that if people move from one land to another they will change
to fit it?

If so, how come there are European lloking people in South America (or for
that matter, North America?)
