Ben Franklin: the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are "swarthy"
Was watching the PBS documentary on Ben Franklin and found this funny....
"And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased."
