True blonde status is by birth. It's appearance can be faked. Are you telling me that my cousin (and others mentioned in this thread) should be required to conceal her true identity to avoid being treated as a stupid person?  I might expect that from some here but I am truly surprised that you are/would be one.

Racial features can be altered too.  Michael Jackson spent a lot of money, I sure, to alter his appearance. 

Here is a rather famous case of a white man changing his appearance to pass as black:

Dude, at your age stretching like that can be dangerous! No way you compare racist bumper stickers with the angst a "real" blonde might feel over dumb blonde jokes. Perhaps you would feel better if a disclaimer were used noting "we're talking about those fake blondes like Jayne Mansfield".

Very thin stuff there Arrow.

We are about the same age.  You are stretching a bit to say that dumb blonde jokes are harmless fun.  Racist bumper stickers are not acceptable.  Ridiculing someone for the color of their hair is also not acceptable. Before my hair turned grey, it was dark red, as opposed to carrot top red.  I heard my fair share of Red Head jokes. 

You added one too many comparisons (I think the lawyer comparison is legit.) and now cannot defend your choice.

They must take after their mother.   :D


Sadly, in the "psycho-hose-beast" way, yes...but in all the other important ways, not!  Including the good looks and brains!

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

So, you were a ginger? :)

We'll just have to disagree about blonde jokes, Red.

I see there is no conceit in your family, you have it all.
