I dont know if this played a role in the particular
community I observed, but I was struck by the fact
that about half the population was blonde and blue
eyed.
Now that I think about that, why is it that
blondes have that reputation that we have? Why is
it that there are no dumb redhead jokes? Is it
because there were blondes on Iceland that
inbred for centuries? Can someone explain why
blondes in particular, get the dumb rap? Why
do we corner the market for ditzy?
