The term 'Wells' Blond Race' refers to the Eloi, a fictional species of human-like creatures featured in the 1895 novel The Time Machine by H.G. Wells. The Eloi are a peaceful, childlike race who live in a utopian society and are descended from the upper classes of Victorian England. They are described as being blond-haired and slender, and they spend their days in leisurely activities such as swimming and playing.
