It's actually quite interesting. There was a DNA study a few years back that showed that the "Vikings" were surprisingly diverse and most likely would not be considered "white" in our time. So forget the pale skinned, fair haired gents you see on TV and think more like if you mixed the Norse with everyone on the planet and also some were women.
its decently common in that kind of culture. Any culture with that "marauder" aspect to them tended to also take PEOPLE when they raided. Since we've seen evidence of the vikings all around the world from the America's all the way to the middle east idk why anyone would be surprised that sex happened too.

Nice try presenting a classic Twatter-tool advocating an over-simplified and thus pretty dumb narrative, but apparently he's only got it half-wrong.

It's also interesting how the places on the british isles mostly influenced by viking/normans ancestry (same as the french normandy) aren't exactly dominated by the light-skinned, blue-eyed, straight blonde type.
