She does have a nice voice, but I suspect that she dyes her hair.

most blondes aren't really blondes

so what happens to the real ones?

My wife is blond, and she's very bright. Plus, she finds that particular stereotype about blonds being stupid as offensive.

You mean blonde?

A Pol

B Phil

C Rel

D All of the above

E None of the above

F Pol + Phil

G Pol + Rel

H Phil + Rel

Select one. Explain your answer.

I first wrote blonde, but then my spell check told me I was wrong. I suppose I could just add that spelling in the spell check's dictionary.
There, I just did it.
Blonde! Blonde! Blonde! Blonde!

Just trust your own spelling Bill But yeah, the blonde stereotype is just a joke, its silly for people to get offended.

Whether or not tghis is appropriate content for this forum, I can assue you:

A. One of the most incredibly dumb people I have ever met - not necessarily the absolute bottom of the curve, but a contender - was a blond female - presumed human. If they cast her in a 50s ditz blonde film, she would be seen by most viewers as overkill.

B. One of the smartest, most efficient, most personable people I have met - she took on our department Secretary position for a while - was just as blonde, just as female, and unquestionably human.

Anybody got a stereotype for guys with no chest hair we can debate?

At the very least, this is political because....... she's singing the National Anthem. Yeah. That.

Yes, it is just a negative stereotype. However, not all stereotypes are negative, especially if Weird Al has gotten to them:

This is practically my theme song.

Says the girl with red hair and no soul.

I pointed out a mistake someone in my family made and they said, "Oh well, they'll just think it's because I'm a blonde"

I've noticed many females act dumber than they actually are just because people will laugh and they are "supposed to be". I imagine this phenomenon could be amplified in some with natural blond hair because the expectations to be dumb are raised.

Is blond an adjective and blonde a noun?

Blonde is based on bringing in the French feminine. I would need to be sure of my gender before claiming "I am a natural blonde".

Perhaps fortunately, before moving to its current shade my hair was various flavors of brown - though I had to stop trying for a beard because it came in red and made me look like I was using dye.

Red hair and no soul? If any of us here have souls, then you do also. Having red hair isn't a bad thing either, a cool example of a red head being Kari Byron of Mythbusters.
