I don’t know.
But what puzzles me even more…
Is how we are appalled if someone makes jibes about the colour of one’s skin, we recognise the wrong of racism…
Yet we persist in taunting and ridiculing blondes and ginger-haired people.
How long before we recognise that it’s the same as belittling someone for their skin colour?
I would imagine because since the age of mass media blond hired woman where seen as more attractive than darker harried woman. This intern caused more blond hired woman to go farther in life irrespective of their intelligence; causing a higher number of notable blond haired woman who where not intelligent. Than a stereotype was created to explain the occurance.
it might also help with little mizz paris hilton,too. She started out not being known for anything except for her father’s hotel and her being pretty.

Promptly for the same reason that its not recognize as wrong or racism by man people when a white person is ridiculed because of the color of their skin. The race that had the upper hand in the past, gets less sympathy in the present.
Since blondes traditionally had the upper hand dispute the jokes, they get less sympathy.

Blonde jokes existed long before Paris Hilton, but she is a good example of why the jokes persist.

that is very true.
Martin Luther King Jr. did help recism but we still have many problems with it. Who knows how long before we’ll need another Martin Luther King Jr?
most likely some certain blonde celebrities, acting dumb on camera
Most blonde jokes were recently about race. They got changed to be more acceptable.
Usually, race jokes sting in places where the wounds of discrimination are already present. Blondes really aren’t discriminated against, so it’s really not a problem. I mean, do you feel offended or hurt by blonde jokes?
I think the problem we have now is discrimination against gays. :/
The problem we have now is discrimination against the disabled. Compared to the discrimination against the disabled, the discrimination toward other groups is not even worth mentioning.

yea! what is the deal with gay bashers recently?
I don’t like the whole usage of “That’s gay!” when you don’t like something either, but i do it too sometimes.
I feel for any blonde disabled gay. I really do.

that too!
they also even use it like my previously mention “that’s gay!” in the form of “that’s retarded!”
(and no, I’m not being facetious)
this is so wierd! I always hear my friends going “that girl is retarded” or “that song is so gay”. it makes me feel uncomfortable that they dont even think about how they are referring to the disabled but they just use it so freely.
for some reason, the people in this world like to judge before anything else.
Why don’t you correct your post by making the word blond plural and not possessive?
It’s blonds NOT blond’s.
burn fail, because anyone can correct it.
if it bothers you so much anon, do it yourself.

Actually, it’s blondes.
But then, although I’m blonde, I’m clever enough to have worked out what was intended.
So there, I was mistaken too. Point taken. I will take my licking but I will keep on ticking.

it can be either, depending on where the person is, certain forms of english use it different ways
Ah, now that depends on whether you are using the Merriam Webster or the Oxford. The Oxford predates the Merriam Webster significantly.
Most scholars would say that blond with an -e is preferable for females.
;o)

first of, I am not a scholar XD
secondly, i have read that whole blonde being feminine somewhere.
but then again the OP is talking about blondes as a whole
I’m just messing with you!
We blonds/blondes have a sense of humour too!
Back to the topic… I think we’ve established.. it just isn’t fair!

If the disabled only had to worry about someone calling something retarded, they would have cause for celibration.
The fact that 2/3s of working aged disabled adults can’t find a job when they want one, is a lot worse than calling a song gay. That getting into an area where people dont have enough money to feed and shelter themselves; when gays can’t feed and shelter themselves because they are gay than they’ll have something to complain about.
