The hazel eye phenomenon is an attribute that contradicts views about race theory and racial discourse. What is omitted in conversations is its prevalence among Africans. Assertions that it hardly applies among Africans but a preserve of people in certain geographical locations exposes the weakness in academic and other pronouncements on the issue. It turns out that Africans themselves, for instance, Igbos, fail to notice its occurrence in Igbo communities that have no biological contact with the world outside Igbo land before Igbos encountered the Europeans during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade era or during the colonization of West Africa by Europeans. This research is an input into a crowded field that is even inadequate in its postulations. The aim of the study is to use the findings here to dismiss veiled ideas of racial inequalities in the world and to put an end to racial classification of humans, especially Africans, who are erroneously called blacks.
