The people with blue eyes were allowed to apply for that job. Those with green eyes and brown eyes were allowed to apply for their own jobs respectively. Half (mixed) eyes were looked down upon in regards to social status and hierarchy. There were many subdivisions and layers within their society. Only the people with green eyes could wear every shoe type, whereas everyone else was limited in their shoe choices. Human history and culture was broken up into eye colour, and your history and culture was dependent on your eye colour, and you could not claim other human history or culture as your own, unless you had the right eye colour. Wearing contacts to change eye colour was extremely offensive, but only when the people with blue eyes did it.
Gender, sexual orientation, or having more pigment in your skin meant nothing to these humans whose culture had been shaped by a human building narrative to explain and group the world through eye colour. And so it became so. Humans passed on narrative to each other, getting lost in each other’s stories. In another world something else abstract would be chosen as the dividing tribal line in the animal homo sapien, and those that did not see or agree with the narrative would be like the people with blue eyes wearing open toe footwear.
It was all fiction. Human fiction.
