Anti-blonde
prejudice and stereotyping is one of the most common examples of
projection. The coincidence of anti-blond jokes and ridicule being so
common that they're practically "normalized", combined with the fact
that the most common hair color treatment is blonde, is too obvious to
ignore.
Where does anti-blonde prejudice and desire to belittle
come from, and why do people so adamantly deny that there's anything
wrong with it? On the flip side, if having blonde hair means a person is
not smart, or unstable, then why do so many people dye their hair
blonde?
Why are human beings so fixated on something as superficial
and simplistic as the color of a person's hair, especially when it's so
easy to change?
What is the emotional issue that so many people have regarding this?
