The studies in question say that NATURAL blondes will die out. You seem to have missed the point.

Matthew, No, I didn't miss the point. Do you think I believe that peroxide will cease to work 2 centuries hence? I'm talking about real genetic blondes. Artificial blondes do not look the same. They have dark roots, darker color eyes, darker color eye brows, etc.

Or are you trying to say that blondes due to genetic engineering will be unnatural? Are test tube babies who grow up to be blondes all be unnatural blondes? Their origins will be unnatural but they themselves will be natural.

The societies most likely to develop genetic engineering to that point are democracies, and the great majority of the population is and will be opposed to "designer babies". Genetically engineering your offspring to look a certain way will be illegal, and it is not something that can be done in a back alley.

Yes, genetic engineering could cause blondes to hang around, but i'm pretty sure people will look mostly like they do now in the future. I seriously doubt that the number of blondes will increase drastically though since there are lots of people who would prefer another hair color instead of blonde, and would want their offspring to look more like them. Only people who believe in the facade that there is only one ideal beauty type will engineer their kids to be blonde. Most people aren't that narrow minded. I think if i could control what genes my kid had, i would be less concerned with something so trivial as haircolor compared to making sure they were healthy.

I do not believe natural blondes will "die out." I have quite a few natural blondes in my own family, even though the majority have light to medium brown hair, and a few even had/have dark brown to black. So, even though their has been a constant dark haired gene, the blonde has shown up.
I have a problem with one of your statements, though. The people in my family that that do have blonde hair also have naturally darker roots and eyebrows, though the skin is fair and eyes are light blue or green. I just wanted to mention that since you said that you can tell an artificial blonde by their darker roots and eyebrows. Though my family does not have dark, dark roots like normal fake blondes, they are still a bit darker than the rest of the hair.

Parents having the choice to control their childs genes? That is a twisted and perverse idea. Natural blondes should be encouraged to breed with other blondes. Theres nothing wrong with the world a little eugenics wont fix. Maybe the Nazis had the right idea with their Lebensborn program. I myself am a natural blonde male. and I believe blondes should be made a protected minority until our numbers can be increased.

Nearly all Natural Blondes will be gone in 200 years (they are rare now) unless that community wakes up and turns things around.

Most of our Descendants will look similar. Having just left an MBA program I think it's easier and more profitable for large and powerful organizations, to market to large similar groups who look, think, and act the same way. The few in charge will have more unique characteristics for a bit longer because many of those people have more time to encourage their children to marry their own kind (whether African, Swedish, Chinese, Indian, etc…). Most of the lower and middle class is convinced that they have less time to raise their children because they need so many things (that they really can’t afford). The poorer children (and the children of individuals who think they don’t yet have enough) are raised mainly by an organization (public & private schools) outside the home that inevitably needs to unify the different cultures, and in turn, these organizations help encourage interracial marriage.

Whether it is on purpose, or not, we can look at the group of people in charge of media organizations and large global businesses to get near the root cause of the present situation. The same groups that seem to support, and market, diversity will actually cause a rapid end to diversity in the years to come. We can look at the Betty Crocker image drawn up as a racial blend as one marketing example, MTV and nearly all TV, movies, magazines, and other media for more examples.

Of course all of us are really to blame because many people have succumb to marketing pressure and become more selfish, and shortsighted when it comes to thinking about the consequences of their actions. We aren’t just shortsighted with advertising racial mixing, but with everything from urban planning to watering the yard.

Leaving aside the idea of genetic engineering for the moment, the report put forward does offer a certain logic. If the blonde gene is regressive and already rare within the world populus the increase in interacial procreation will reduce its occurance.
The idea of the parents wanting to, or being able to choose their off springs hair colour because of the preferance to look similar to them selves does not follow. Which parent should the child look like, the dark hair or fair haired parent? and why. Most parents seem to be happy that the fruit of their loins is a part of both of them. Imagine the situation " actually love, I thought it might be a good idea if the kid has blonde hair like mine, rather than dark hair like yours!
Your remarks on genetically engineered blondes is valid to a point, there is no doubt that the ability to do this will be available one day, but why choose it? you could be acused of imposing an aesthetic bias on your unborn child, as apposed to a shared aesthetic appreciation for each other.
However, the idea of extinction of the blonde gene in its literal terms is proberby an exaggeration, but its natural occurance within society does look set to fall.
But all is not lost. The ingenious ways of changing personal (chosen by the individual) apperance will, I am sure, continue unabated into the future, allowing the image of the blonde to live on. Lets hope so, I for one would miss them terribly.

Carl, Blondeness is extremely popular. Even many brunette women will opt to give their daughters genetically blonde hair. People are happy with the current situation because they can't control it. Parents will control it when they can control it. They won't care about accusations of gender bias or hair color bias. They will choose genetic variations that change appearances of their offspring in ways that will enhance the appeal of their offspring. So they will tinker with genes for hair color, teeth characteristics, facial shape, physical build, and skin complexion.

If Blonde Mom wants a blonde daughter will Dad complain? Remember that Dad liked Blonde Mom enought to marry her in the first place. If Blonde Mom is a bleach blonde (and men really do on average prefer blondes more) then she'll see the gene tinkering as a way to avoid the need for her daughter to use toxic chemcials to dye her hair.

Yes, people will modify their own appearances as adults using genetic engineering as well. But that won't stop them from having a desire to modify the genes that govern the appearance of their unborn children.

Randall, thanks for responding to my views so promptly. I agree with much of what you say, although I may seem alittle old fasioned in my expectations of what poeple may or may not choose in the future. If genetics offers the ultimate options package for the coming generations we may fall into the trap of fasionable looks, the kids really will be designer babies. Obiviously blondes have been seen as powerful images through the ages since Aphrodite, but if we are speculating about the future we should be cautious about relying to heavily on the past to provide the answers. I guess only time will tell.

This is such nonsense.... Nature is the ruler here - if in nature a gene is recessive -- then it is not necessary... Darkness in complexion evolved when we lost all our body hair and skin needed protection from UV radiation. Fair complexion and hair is a result of reduced exposure to UV radiation and the consequent natural selection of fair folks.. And red hair is a result of a mutation... So.... it does not really matter --- if we are so paranoid about our skin/hair color
- Please migrate to a cloudy/cold area and stay there for 10,000 years
- Grow body hair
- Wait for nature to take its course and introduce new mutations, maybe pink hair (who knows). Eye color has mutated --- we now have people with golden eyes in the middle east, which is supposed to be the latest mutation..
So let nature takes its course - it will ensure the strongest and best genes, given our environment (BTW, all blondies out there, UV radiation is on an increase due to CFCs)
And to the blonde man who posted a Nazi like message - most blonde boys become brown haired or so after puberty because of male hormonal rush (same when the male feotus is in the womb), so did you miss it? (don't take offence, its a joke --- color is sooooo irrelevant in human evolution)

Thanks

I think that there will be fewer blondes even in the next 50 years because of the mixing of blondes with darker haired whites, and blondes mixing with blacks, hispanics & Asians.
The blondes that will be left will be concentrated in Scandanavian countries or areas that are not ethnic or racially diverse.

First of all, Brunettes are not Blonde. Brunettes that are bleached are not Blonde. They are Bleached Brunettes.

Secondly, selecting Blonde designer babies also means DESELECTING Brunette babies.

Remember, this is EXACTLY what the Brunette, Hitler, and the (mostly) Brunette Nazis were doing. When the genetic replacement programs start in earnest this will really be the Final Selection.

In the future a lot of people will delete their own Brunette genes and replace them with Blonde genes. This is genetic suicide and/or genetic murder.

One thing people may not realize, is that Blondeness is not just a physical trait. When there are more Blondes than Bleached Brunettes the world will be a different place because Blondes do not behave the way Bleached Brunettes behave.

i dont think blondes will die out in 2 centuries, there arnt many blondes nw but people die there hair blonde so hw cn u tel.

frm a natural blonde

Many Hispanics are white, belive it or not (the rest being Amerindian, Mestizo, Black and "Mulatto"), and many have naturally blonde or red hair, as well as blue green, hazel etc eyes.
This can commonly be seen in Cuba, Argentina, and among the ruling elite of most Latin American countries.
Has anyone seen alot of the people who live in trailer parks? Agreat deal of them have blonde hair, and they breed like rabbits! And the same thing goes for all those "Aryan" groups that live in the Upper-Rockies.
Its funny, alot of natural brunettes have alabaster complexions while many blondes are rather swarthy and dont burn easily (and many are natural).
The Children of O.J. Simpson, Sammy Davis Jr. and that Lionel Richie's daughter that was on that show with Paris Hilton (another natural blonde who doesn't burn easily) all constitute bi-racial (white/black) children with blonde hair, and possibly Smokey Robinson's daughter as well.
Remember T-Boz from TLC? She was born with that blonde hair.
Austrailian Aboriginies, and some peoples that inhabit the Himilayas (and maybe Polynesia as well) display blonde hair during childhood.

Sex for recreation? I doubt that our future population will entirely be made up of "swingers".
What will probaly happen is we will end up with a somewhat homogenous global population that will become smaller and smaller as we wise up and realize how our huge population, coupled with sprawl and other things stemming from wealth and wastefulness, is putting a horrible strain on our resources.

Neanderthals hailing from Europe never had dark skin/hair. They later on mixed with Homo Sapiens. So not all blondes descended from brunettes. With the mixing of many races esp. In USA, blondes probably won't die out as quickly as said. They will pop up as their recessive gene once and a while. Blondes will remain in northern European countries as well.
Also,
As noted before in this topic, it's harder to tell who is blonde(some blondes do infact have darker eyebrows etc.) and who is not. As more people go dye their hair blonde the less the blonde gene will be passed on.

I have made it easier for you to "tell" who is Blonde by giving a COMPLETELY SEPERATE name to the people who appear to be, and have assumed the name of "Blonde". Their name is Brunette; B-r-u-n-e-t-t-e. These people have been allowed to assume the name Blonde and these people have caused the derogatory word "bleach" to be attached to the name Blonde. This is wrong. They have their own name and the derogatory word needs to be firmly attached to their name, identifying them as Bleached Brunettes. Then you can TELL who is Blonde because you can TELL who is Bleached Brunette. Please add this to your vocabulary and pass it on. (enjoyed all the 'comments' esp. 'neanderthal')

I'm 21 years old and have natural blonde hair.

I have been trying to work out which members of my family I have inherited it from.
As everyone says it's to do with genes.
However my mum and dad both have very dark brown hair.

I wasn't born with blonde hair infact with bright ginger hair but that fell out when I was about a year old.
White hair then grew in it's place!
All through my life my hair has got lighter and darker. When I was 8 years old it went dark brown then when I was 13 it went as white as snow then at 17 It went very dark again and now I'm 21 it's almost white.
My body hair is all white blonde, apart from my eye brows which are so dark there almost black!

(On my mums side)Her dad had ginger hair & two of my cousins have ginger hair.
My Great grandad also had natural blonde hair.
(On my dads side)
There are no connections with blonde.

I guess I'm lucky I read as few as 3% of UK women have natural blonde hair.
I hope my children have blonde hair- but I guess it's un likely un less I marry someone that's blonde also.
It seems with me I have far more relatives with the gene for Ginger hair. I don't no how that's made me blonde.

I also think sun light& light has a lot to do with how fair my hair color goes.
I can see my hair is heading towards being white again- and if this summer is good I can see it being completely white.

I hope natural blondes will never vanish off the planet and I hope someone thing will change and more people will start producing blonde children again.

Blonde people (who are Nordic or mostly Nordic in racial composition) are distinctly different in alot of ways, those of pure racial ancestry have distinct mental, physical and psychological traits, as every race does. The problem with the Nordic people is most of their genes while being superior or desirable are recessive in nature, so over the past several hundred years with methods of travel advancing, people of other races have been able to penetrate Europe more easily and spread their genes dilluting their host peoples genes with their own. This is especially dangerous for Nordic people as their genes are easily dilluted. One of the reasons Scandenavia and surounding regions is the last bastion of the Nordic man is because of its reletive isolation from other races. Many people have tried to protect the Nordic people from racial mixing and degenaration by implementing strict racial policies, most notably Nazi Germany much to their credit. But they have all failed or made little impact due to the ignorance of the rest of the world. Today our society is culturally and racially perverted as ever, with a steady stream of race mixing propaganda and phony equality dogma spewed out by the news and entertainment media (which happens to be largely jewish owned) coupled with the equally perverted and degenerate concepts of affirmative action, free trade and other policies which directly or indirectly damage, pollute or destroy the racial makeup of this once great continent. Is it any wonder our fairest, most beautiful and intelligent group of people in the world face extinction through racial mixing? If things continue people with blonde hair will be gone, then what? people with blue eyes are bred out? then white skin perhaps? I dont know about the rest of you but I dont intent to allow my genes and those of future generations of Nordic people to be n!ggerized and bastardized by the mongrels currently flooding into our countries because their countries have become filthy overflowing toilets and they need to turn our countries and gene pool into a turdwater sh!thole just so they can have a better life, and benefit off our hardwork and effort that we sacrificed and laboured for over the past few hundred years, and much longer in Europe.

Lastly lets not pretend that hair color is just a superficial difference that makes no difference on the individual. Remember that blonde hair is a racial trait, and since blonde hair except for a few very minor exceptions is a completely Nordic trait, and that many other traits are passed along even when the blonde gene is not. To be blonde you must have the blonde gene on both sides of the family in the grandparents generation. You can work out the chances of your offspring having blue eyes or blonde hair for example by using a punnett square, that is if you know which family members have which genes...for example some people have blonde hair as a child but it darkens later in childhood, they still have the blonde gene and are capable of having blonde children and grandchildren. Oh yes and to the idiot who claimed Nicole Richie is a natural blonde, where the hell did you read that? Her biological father is a brown haired white male, a rockstar and friend of her adoptive parent Lionel Richie...the mother was a negroid. She was an accident and the father was so humiliated and disgraced by fathering a mullato baby that Lionel Richie offered to adopt her so she could "live a better life" She cannot be a natural blonde (aside from the fact that I know she isnt from other sources) because in order to be blonde you must have at least 2 grandparents, 1 on each side of the family who have the blonde gene...obviously a negroid will not have the blonde gene unless one of their parents was a pure blooded Nordic who interbred with a negroid, and since I also know Nicole Richie's mother is not a mullato, she cannot be a natural blonde. She uses blonde hair extensions on TV and skin toner to appear almost caucasian. As for OJ Simpson, too bad he didnt get convicted and executed, it would have been the perfect crime. A negroid killing a race mixer and a jew, and then being executed for it. His mullato children has lightish brown colored hair because their mother was a quite pure Nordic female...and blondeness can on rare occasion be partly transmitted in the form of not quite brown not quite blonde color.

PS Carol you can marry me and we can make lots of blonde children ;-)

I posted on here almost a year ago and forgot about this forum, I just happened upon it by chance once again :-)

Nazrac,

Thanks, but I suspect I'm too old for you. My Blondes (babies)are all grown up.

Please be careful what kind of remarks you make about colour. All human beings are born with the right to dignity for people of their colour, race and ethnicity. The actual behaviors, attitudes and actions of individuals are the only fair criteria for judgement.

People who use cheap products to fake being another colour invariably use the power of that colour for monetary gain and personal gratification without regard for the DIGNITY of the people they are MISREPRESENTING.

Brunettes that bleach cause derogatory words to be attached to the name Blonde. These nasty words need to be firmly attached to the name Brunette because they are the ones bleaching. Allowing them to 'use' the name Blonde also allows them to go uncensured among us. Nobody can be named, blamed or shamed in someone elses name. They need to be OUTED and held responsible in their own name.

40% of American women are now fully bleached (except their 5:00 shadow!) and dragging the name Blonde from the trailor park to the pole and back again. They have no intention of stopping because they use Blonde to make their "dirrty" money.

Another 19% of Brunettes add some bleach to themselves. This means there are more Dumb Bleached Brunettes than normal Brunettes now. Total female Brunettes: 95%. Total female Bleached Brunettes now: 59%.

Total non-bleaching female Brunettes: 35%. Total female Blondes: 3%.

The bleached are in a gigantic howling, whirling frenzy; all shouting "Blonde! Blonder!! Blondest!!". They are drunk with power that isn't theirs and all they can 'think' to do with it is to excite careless random lust in our public and private places. They have a contagious psychosexual social disease that has infected our whole society.

And by the way, OJ's wife was a Bleached Brunette, just like Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Courtney Love, Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson, and all their hook-a-likes and strip-a-likes.

First of all, My father is 100% finn, which means the ancestors on both his mothers and fathers side did infact come from finland. My mother is German. When I was young I had hair so blonde it was almost white. My eyes are so light blue they water when im outside in the sun or snow. I also have fair skin. As I got older and went through puberty My hair did get darker it's a darker blonde color. But i do dye my hair blonde. My father had very blonde hair when he was young too, now he has dark almost black hair with very blue eyes. So if u dye your hair blonde it dont mean shit! Im finn and german and my hair got darker... but i still have the blue eyes and fair skin, my eyebrows are darker blonde to. Just cause i dye my hair blonde doesnt mean that im a stripper, or a whore. I was born with blonde hair, i just want to keep it. I'M proud of my nationality/heritige. People consider me "arian". My older brother also has blonde hair, and blue eyes. Not many people do have naturally blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. I guess I'm lucky, but Im not going to search around for a guy that has that. I dont care. My chances are good in having a child with blonde hair and blue eyes.. I have 4 nephews.. all with blonde hair and blue eyes. Point is.. it dont matter if u dye your hair blonde...everyones hair gets darker when they go through puberty. Also, becasue my hair got darker, would i not be concidered a "Natural" blonde?

Your physical identity which is determined by your INDIVIDUALLY expressed genes is still your identity even if you bleach yourself.

Bleaching yourself will not 'activate' Blonde genes. You will not grow Blonde hair from bleach.

You got what you got; being Blonde as a child is not rare (30% of caucasian children under 7 are BLONDE).

You're all grown up now, you "Blonde as children" people, and you have all turned into some nice kind of Brunette.

The people that are Blonde children and stay Blonde when they are all grown up are the Blonde adults. There are 2 kinds of Blondes; child and adult, just as there are 2 kinds of Brunettes; child and adult.

Only 3% of adult caucasian women in North America are Blonde.

95% of adult caucasian women in North America are Brunette.

40% of these Brunettes are now fully bleached and have ASSUMED the name Blonde.

No matter how nice you are as a Bleached Brunette you still have no right to ASSUME the name Blonde.

You know that when you voluntarily join the Bleached Brunette group you become one of the people who are CAUSING derogatory words to be attached to the good name of a FEW adults and a whole bunch of children. (dumb, bleached)

The derogatory words must be detached from the name Blonde and they must be attached to the name Brunette. Dumb Bleached Brunette.

The word bleached points out the blinding spot-light which is obtained from a product. The name Brunette is a genetic identity. Bleached Brunette.

You can't "dye" your hair Blonde, you get it bleached. All Bleached Brunettes are BLEACHED. That is what the product does and that is what you are.

Pass it on.

Haircolor is just that...haircolor. We were all created differently for a reason. Blondes, brunettes, redheads...we're all unique & special in our own way. Would you love one child more than another simply because of his/her haircolor? It reminds me almost of the way some African-Americans show preferential treatment towards blacks of a lighter hue.

Marilyn Monroe was a "Bleached Brunette", by the way. When she was Norma Jean, she looked entirely different. She had a long pointy nose, crooked teeth, & frizzy dark-brown hair. Later, as a career move, she had it tinted strawberry-blonde (a red-gold color). When her career took off in 1946 she became "Marilyn Monroe" and had a hairdresser, Emmeline Snively, bleach her hair to white-blonde. Jean Harlow, another actress, was also a "Bleached Brunette." After her death, it was discovered that years of bleaching her dark hair had reduced it to short stubble.

Although I don't agree with some of Nazrac's views I must agree with him on one point: blondeness is primarily a European trait. There are very rarely, if ever, people of African origin or descent with naturally occurring blonde hair. I don't care if the person is of mixed heritage. My husband has lots of mixed people in his family & not one of them is blonde or ever has been. Come on, now: most whites are, in the majority, no longer blond by the time they reach adulthood. So I'm sorry, but it is impossible for a black person to posess blonde hair, blue eyes, & very fair skin naturally without bleaching their hair & skin, wearing blue contacts, and a weave to lengthen the hair. (Case in point: Nicole Richie).

Nicole Richie lives in a world of privilege and glamor, certainly: she & Paris Hilton walk around like they're hot shit. However, she is an inaccurate example of blondeness because 1) she is genetically a Black person, and 2) she obviously tries to pass herself off as being white. Paris Hilton is a WHITE female with deeply tanned skin, green eyes, & long white-blond hair that is bleached. Her natural hair color is a much darker blond. Beyonce Knowles is yet another African-American woman who attempts to emulate blondeness & fair skin. When Destiny's Child was formed she had dark-brown hair & brown skin. Now she is sporting golden weaves & extensions and wears light foundation. To the person who said T-Boz is naturally blonde: NO. T-Boz is a lovely girl, but she is black, therefore she cannot have blonde hair...the same as the other celebrities mentioned above. My husband is a dark-skinned African-American & our 6-year-old daughter turned out light-skinned with brown hair...although I am white with natural blonde hair, she could never be blonde.

I myself am blonde but I think of all natural haircolors as beautiful. Blonde hair (when it is natural) can be luminous, icy pale, & ethereal. It can also be dull & dingy, depending on the shade. Red hair is fiery, carroty, adventurous & rare. Brunette hair ranges from the lightest chestnut to dark auburn to smooth chocolate and rich black. Skin tones in whites range from the extremely corpse-like pale with blue veins to the pink-and-white (me), to the medium tan. So everyone is diverse & beautiful in their own way. I have seen blacks with blue-black & brown skin that is wonderful. I don't believe in putting down other people but instead being more accepting of their differences.

First of all, my hair is still blonde, just darker (dishwater) blonde. But i do dye it a lighter blonde color. And not bleach blonde. but just because i do that, doesnt mean im not blonde. SO carol i would be in that 3% of american caucasian women who are blonde. If i let my hair grow out of the dye, I would in fact still be a blonde. ANd my hair didnt start gettign darker until i was about 15 y.o. So if i was supposed to be a brunette.. it woudl be odd to have a brunnette with light blue eyes, and fair skin. you can dye your hair blonde or bleach your hair blonde, there is no difference, all dye does is cover your natural color up, as for bleaching... your natural color is still there, that is why you can strip your hair out to your natural color. ANyway who cares if you dye your hair blonde, you cannot help what haircolor you are born with, and if you want to dye your hair blonde, than GOOD, that makes me happy that people like blonde hair enough to make thiers that color...blonde hair is very pretty, better than mousy brown. Im proud to have blonde hair, alot of women wish they could have it, and i do. But wether you dye it or your natural, your stilll a blonde becsue that is the color your hair presently is. If i dyed my hair red, i would be a red head... dyed or not, its your hair color.. may not be your natural color.. but it's still your color. Im blonde and i could careless when other women dye thier hair blonde, im not disgusted, or pissed of becasue of it. AS for blonde being wiped out in 2 centuries.. i dont think so. Look at all of the scandinavian people with blonde hair. Im sure alot of male and female blondes marry and produce children. I love having blonde hair and i wouldnt changed it at all.... and men prefer blondes.

M. Peltonen: Although I see your point, I wouldn't make such a broad statement as "men prefer blondes."

Sure, lots of men like blonde women...but it IS only a haircolor. I have seen some extremely unattractive blonde women, both natural & unnatural. Brunette women & red-haired women are every bit as desirable as blondes. I'm not trying to tear you down in any way. You're very proud of being blond & you should be...it's the way you were created. I'm proud to be blonde, too. And while I don't deny that blondes are popular in Hollywood, it's really just overrated hype with all due respect.

You personally feel that blondes are superior to dark-haired people. This is, in a way, the myth of Aryan superiority coming through. You're entitled to your opinions, we all are, but don't you think that's a little off-base? There are many brunettes with pale skin & eyes that range from cobalt blue to hazel to brown. In fact, most natural brunettes I've seen (with the exception of blacks, Asians & some Hispanics) have very fair complexions & light-colored eyes. This also holds true for most redheads. I myself am a natural "dishwater" blonde like you, with hazel eyes. My sister is a brunette with porcelain skin & blue-blue eyes.

My point? Be proud of who you are & what you have, but never feel that your God-given attributes make you superior to another.

Take care

I am not prejudiced, nor do i think i am better than anyone else. That is not what i intented. I am a natural blonde and i love it, i also think that women who dye thier hair blonde are giving a compliment to us. I dont think that it is trashy, unnatural, or wrong. I am proud of where i come from, and what i inheirited. If other want to dye thier hair or get colored contacts, thats fine. Everyone wants to look diffrent sometimes, and make changes. It doesnt mean that they are trying to change where they came from. I know not all men prefer blondes... I sometimes consider dying my hair a dark brown. It doesnt really matter your hair color, or eyes color, it is how everything goes together, eyes, face shape, hair, etc. It just bothers me that people have that sterotype of women who dye thier hair blonde. MAYBE they just like that color hair. I am proud that i have the light skin type, blue eys, and blonde hair naturally, becasue it is rare. And it is a trait of my nationality(Finn). But, really i could care less who dyes or changes anything about thier looks, they are doing what makes them happy

It's a shame the blonde people feel so isolated and set upon. It's true that Europeans see blonde as the ultimate. And it is true that amongst some African and Asian diaspora they also see blonde as as desirable. But in terms of the whole world blonde is not desirable. African cultures ousted (and still do) those of light skin or straight Albinos as being cursed. in the far east they were treated as freaks. Sometimes desirable but more than often treated like a lucky charm or bad omen depending. THe human race has been through many changes over the ages and blondes have been here but for a short time. In fact whites in general have not been on earth for more than 8,000 years and probably much less. Any study in DNA mutation will show you that. As the world has turned more Eurocentric over the last 1000 years whites have seen themselves as the most desirable but the old cliche still holds true. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Women with broad hips and chubby backsides and full busoms were all the rage only 100 years ago (after the influence of the hottentot venus), then suddenly thin was in. Now we see taste changing away from that back to full figured women (who don't favour adolencent boys). So too will be the fate of blondes. I don't think blondes will compltetly die out. But over the next century if migration stays the way it is going then yes there will be less of them and so too will the desire to be blonde fade.

That is the natural order of things. Those who live in some kind of hope that blonde equals the very best in human kind (some nazi type philosophy) have to live with the fact that if being blonde is truly soooooo great then blondes would have evolved in such a way that their genes would be dominant. Such is the fact that they haven't. Because as someone else on this message board pointed out. "blonde isn't necessary" for human survival. And I would like to point out in addition to that, having mellanin in you skin is a requirment for the survival of the human race especially now the Europeans have left us with the legacy of mass pollution.

Watching TV these days You can probably notice the desire of many white people to actually appear as dark skinned and haired as possible as to many this is now the new ideal. And cross that with many black people dieing their hair blonde, red, ginger etc... we have a very confusing picture on our hands.

60% of black men in the UK are with white partners whereas only 20% of black women are with white partners. I suspect this is the near the same in most European countries. so what think next. Well I think the future is dark. dark skinned and non resessive. More people who look like me. GREAT! sorry blondies.

Bleached hair is not Blonde. Anyone who bleaches to look "Blonde" or feel "Blonde" or act "Blonde" is not Blonde. They just wish they were so they try to justify CAUSING derogatory words being attached to the name Blonde. Words like dirty, dishwater, bleached, bottled, peroxide and dumb should not be attached to the name Blonde.

Funny how everyone says Blonde is "just a haircolour". This "just a haircolour" is a HUGE business, from the bleach suppliers to the local barfly and the 70% of porn women that are bleached, everyone is able to make a TON of money off of "just a haircolour".

I am so sick of people saying that a rare and beautiful human trait is just the equivalent of a cheap bottle of chemicals. That's like saying the black shoe-polish that white minstrel morons painted on their faces was the equivalent of black-skinned human beings.

Black people fought for their right to be full human beings OF THEIR COLOUR. Blondes are doing the same. There are very few of us and most are too demoralized to SHOW any pride. What do you learn from a lifetime of being told you are a Dumb Slut because of your colour? You learn that there are millions of VOLUNTARILY bleached women using your name and that they are the ones who determine what people think of Blondes. So Blondes go around with a big sign on their heads that says what they are and yet Blondes have no say in what the sign says.

As for the term "recessive", Blondes breed true with each other and when there are only Brunette genes in a partner the Blonde genes AREN'T AVAILABLE at all. If there are some Blonde genes in a Brunette then the Blonde genes MIGHT pair up but then again they are very choosy about whether they do or don't. The saying goes that "beggars can't be choosers" and for the information of everyone in this conversation; Blondes aren't the beggars; they are the choosers. Brunette genes don't dominate Blonde genes, they're just not compatable with Blonde genes. Blonde genes have the usual choice of the rare; to be or NOT TO BE involved with the common genes. They can't be forced.

I can hardly wait until people that say they are "Blonde" can delete their own genes from their own children and replace them with actual Blonde genes. Then everyone wearing the big sign on their head WILL be Blonde and the sign will say: Blondes are normal people.

I've been reading all these comments and like the discussion. I'm currently going to school in Sweden, over %20 of the Swedish population now has its roots from abroad. Which, I see as really sad as in my life I can tell you with gods honest truth I've seen about 70% hot women, compared to about 2.5% back home in the US... the only way to truly know is to see for yourself.

Both of my parents are 100% Norwegion, which is quite odd to get these days in America. I was born with a full set of curly white hair. My hair remained pure white until I was about 18, my facial hair is light golden blond which is slowly (now that I'm 19) growing up and converting my white blond into a light gold shine.

The sad thing is, I used to darken my hair because I would always catch the Albino jokes, however that did all change when I began to get some colored facial hair.

I do however think the hottest girl I've ever seen has been a natural brunette who doesn't (or didn't) ever dye her hair.

And to all you Nazi's, your last hope is Iceland.

Carol...it is very unfortunate that you were treated unfairly because of your haircolor. I agree that there is definitely a stereotype to being blonde. However, women have been changing the color of their hair for centuries. Sometimes it was hip to be blonde, sometimes it wasn't. As I said in an earlier post, Marilyn Monroe (aka Norma Jean Baker) was in reality NOT blonde. She was one of the "bleached brunettes" you despise, yet the world loved her. I could give you a whole list of naturally dark-haired women who lighten their hair. It might be unnatural, but M. Peltonen had a good point: if somebody changes her haircolor for a new look or to enhance her image, then why is that so terrible?

There are other, more destructive ways, such as unnecessary plastic surgery, etc. I am a natural blonde myself but what another woman wants to do with her hair is none of my business. Like it or not, some brunettes choose to go blonde & it is their personal decision...not mine, not yours, but theirs. They will do it no matter what anyone says. They are the ones putting harsh peroxides on their hair, not you. So why should it bother you to this extent? There is no law against bleaching your hair or changing its color. I agree that some women look trashy and the bimbo stereotype hurts, but it will only hurt you more if you are insecure. We have to be realistic here...there are HUNDREDS of "bleached brunettes" walking around. Do we have to like it? No. But we can try to accept it because there's nothing we can do about it, short of running after them with a pair of scissors.
This militant stance & superior attitude towards people with darker hair is appalling.

I agree, blonde hair can be very striking & blonde haircolors are popular with older women. However, where I live in the US, blondes aren't so popular anymore. Not even bleached brunettes. I'm seeing a return of more natural looks. I've been a hairstylist for 13 years & my clients have been different types. I've had natural redheads who wanted blonde highlights or a bolder shade of their own color, natural blondes who wanted to go dark, natural towheads who wanted darker hair, brunettes who wanted to be either blonde, red or simply a different shade of their own dark hair. So the important thing is to
keep an open mind, be proud of your own natural blonde hair, take care of yourself, & let other people do their own thing. There are more worthy causes to defend, such as world hunger, war, & disease research.

*Note: By the way, I respect your opinions very much but I just wanted to offer a different point of view. Thanks!

Bleached women have bleach-COLOURED hair.

Hair bleaching and ASSUMING the name Blonde is not a harmless pastime. It is a huge porn-related BUSINESS.

There are not "hundreds" of Bleached Brunettes. There are millions and every one of them has bleached herself in order to cause Pavlov-like erections and random communal lust in our fathers, brothers, sons and husbands.

The blinding bleach spot-light is very powerful but without the NAME Blonde to back it up HALF of the power would instantly disappear.

These are scary, nasty women and calling them Bleached Brunettes to their faces is a risky business but it needs to be done because they need to be censured. They need to be named, blamed and shamed in their own name. They need to be told MILLIONS of Dumb Bleached Brunette jokes so that they finally GET that THEY are the joke.

carolecox@blondfrombirth.org

"Calling them Bleached Brunettes to their faces is a risky business." LOL, true. They would probably slap you silly...

Now you made some very valid points. Most porn queens & strippers are Bleached Brunettes. These women, in their own way, have perpetuated the myth that blondes are stupid sluts. Marilyn Monroe, the ultimate Bleached Brunette actress, created the sex symbol/bimbo stereotype. Pam Anderson is a Bleached Brunette. The late porn star Savannah was a Bleached Brunette. Jenna Jameson is a Bleached Brunette. Madonna was a Bleached Brunette in the height of her career. African-American singers Beyonce Knowles, Lil' Kim, & Eve all wear blonde weaves and hairpieces...despite the fact that they are black women of dark complexion & could not possibly be natural blondes. My point is that hair bleaching has been so popular for so long, with so many women, what can you do about it? I agree that it has made it difficult for naturally blond women like you & I to be taken seriously and treated with respect. However, we will be treated that way in life, because we're female. Period. It has a little bit to do with the color of our hair and how blondes are falsely perceived...but other types of women have it hard too. Maybe they don't have blonde jokes told about them, but what about women who are overweight? Or have a certain body type that makes other women view them with distaste & men leer at them crudely? Or maybe black women, who are often made to feel inferior to white standards of beauty? I'm sure these women feel discriminated against too.

Like you, I often wondered why a dark-haired woman would want to lighten her hair. Blonde hair is special but it's no better than any other hair color. Brunettes & redheads are beautiful too. Then it dawned on me: Bleached Brunettes do this because a long time ago, somebody determined that blonde hair=more beautiful/successful/superior. After all, Nazis felt that anyone with dark hair was inferior to their "pure" blondness & would thus muck up the gene pool. Sorry to mention Marilyn again, but Hollywood insisted that she bleach her dark hair because in their opinion blondes were sexier and better than brunettes...although Rita Hayworth & Jane Russell were both beautiful brunettes, and so was Marilyn pre-bleach. Shirley Temple's childhood trademark golden curls turned dark brown when she became a teenager. As I said before, I'm a hairstylist & I'm appalled at some of the people who come in. These Bleached Brunette mothers bring their young preteen daughters in for blond highlights & bleach. I refuse to perform these services for two reasons: 1) they are children; 2) it is unnatural and wrong. These little girls were blond when they were younger, now they have perfectly beautiful brown hair. Bleaching their hair would be like saying, blonde is better & you can only be pretty if you're blonde. Which is bull, frankly speaking. Bleached women bleach their hair because society has brainwashed them into the myth of blonde superiority & they have bought into it. They've had it thrown in their faces for years that we blondes "have more fun", that we're sexier, prettier, get more attention, etc. So subconsciously they hear that brunettes are only smart, not sexy, practical, not pretty. So they pour harsh peroxides on their naturally beautiful honey-brown/chestnut/black hair in order to achieve this standard. This is my theory on why they bleach their hair.

Some Bleached Brunettes can pull it off as if it were their natural color...this all depends on complexion, eye color & features. Madonna was a blatant Bleached Brunette because she never dyed her eyebrows to match her hair, and her roots constantly showed. But somebody like, say, Gwyneth Paltrow has pulled it off for years simply because she looks very Waspy. Not very many people have questioned the authenticity of her haircolor because she made it look natural. Bleached hair can look hideously whorish, tacky, damaged & unattractive. Hair bleaching is a commodity with marketers. There are definitely many women who pass themselves off as being natural, when in fact they're as fake as Pam Anderson's breasts. However, in fairness to SOME Bleached Brunettes, they are returning to their roots now that they've learned to appreciate their own special beauty. They have more beautiful brunette role models like Catherine Zeta-Jones & Halle Berry (a black woman) to look up to. John Frieda has launched a new line of haircare specially for brunettes...last year it was Sheer Blonde. There are more haircolors for brunettes than there used to be.

Peroxide is extremely destructive to hair, anyway...with years of use, it can cause scalp burns, blisters, hair loss, blindness, etc. The hair will feel coarse & brittle. So if it's any consolation to you, their bleached hair will eventually become thin & fall out...those are the consequences and that is punishment enough for perpetuating a stereotype. But as for the blonde jokes? My advice is to simply learn how to laugh at yourself. Don't take it too seriously unless it becomes offensive. Learn some brunette jokes if it really bothers you. Or some redhead jokes. That's what I did and it worked for me. By the way, I've visited your site, it was very interesting. *smile*

Telling me to "learn to laugh at myself" just tells me that you still don't get the joke yourself. ALL of the "Dumb" jokes are ABOUT Bleached Brunettes. The jokes are specifically directed at them because they need to be LAUGHED AT. That is why the jokes exist.

Add this up in your head: millions of Bleached Brunettes plus millions of Dumb jokes about them OR a few Blondes and millions of Dumb jokes about them. If you think about it for a second, it is obvious that the millions of jokes are about the millions of chemically dependant fakes. Millions of jokes would not exist to laugh at a few rare individuals.

Quit fighting me on this. The jokes are about Bleached Brunettes and they need to be renamed and retold so that the Dumb Bleached Brunettes can be CENSURED for their behavior, attitudes and reputation. Nobody MEANS actual Blondes when they tell "Dumb Slut" jokes; they MEAN Bleached Brunettes.

I do, however, appreciate your humanity in not bleaching innocent children.

i think theres nothing wrong with girls dying there let them madonna britney + hilary duff and alof other people are not natural blonde they do it casue they feel like it no big deal

Yeah, they feel the lure of easy money for cheap tricks and they love the contrast of that all-over-pubic-like stubble next to the babygirl hair.

Blonde does not need explanations attached. Calling us "true" Blondes or "natural" Blondes is just an excuse to use Blonde with other words like "bleach" and "dumb" and "fake".

Bleach if you want, be dumb if you want, but get your hands off of our name. We are disassociated from Brunettes that are bleached.

"Natural" Brunettes may not like having the dirrty words attached to their name either but if so, they should do something about their dumb bleach fake sisters that have caused the name Dumb Bleached Brunette. The bleachers might find being "Dumb Bleached Brunettes" is not as much fun after they hear a few million Dumb Bleached Brunette jokes. They might not "feel like dying" then.

"Quit fighting me on this." Sorry, but I have to laugh at this. No one's fighting you, honey...I'm stating my perspective while considering yours. I didn't say I disagree altogether. I simply said that while you definitely are justified in being upset, there is basically nothing you can do about it. People will continue to bleach their hair, period.

And do you believe I haven't heard blonde jokes? I have! Any woman, whether Bleached Brunette or 100% natural blond, has heard blonde jokes. Some are insulting, offensive & downright crude. However, these are in the minority. If someone wants to stereotype me based on the color of my hair or my physical appearance, rather than my personality or intellect, that is THEIR problem...not mine. That shows how small-minded & thoughtless they are, and it really has more to do with them than it has to do with me.

And if the jokes are in fact all about Bleached Brunettes, then you should feel rather smug. After all, the jokes aren't about YOU...you say you're not a Bleached Brunette but instead an all-natural blondie. Therefore, I have to say this. I "get it" about the jokes but I can't for the life of me understand you entirely. If you know that you have never bleached your hair, if you love being blond, why do you seem so bitter in your posts towards the many women who are UNNATURAL blondes? It really doesn't have as much to do with you as you may feel. Your own haircolor did not come from a bottle, theirs did. Their hair will be damaged in the long run, yours won't. And it's not even about the haircolor...it's the way they misrepresent all women. I believe that's the real issue.

Maybe the reason most people don't do anything about it is because they don't care. Period. Most people worry more about improving themselves & helping others than whether or not So-and-So's roots are showing beneath her obviously fake yellow hair. Sure, I dislike anything unnatural, particularly plastic surgery. I have never done a bleach job on anyone in my years as a stylist. However, who am I (who is anyone) to say that a person should be ridiculed & exposed as a "Dumb Slut Bleached Brunette?" Women will bleach their hair, maybe for a long time, but that is their business. If they don't mind being stereotyped falsely, more power to them for not caring what anyone has to say. It is not the job of natural brunettes (or blondes) to do anything about their "dumb bleach fake sisters." These women choose to bleach because 1) they equate blonde with better, 2) the media tells everyone that blonde is better, 3) some of them want a different look, or 4) they want to look sleazy. If they want to look sleazy, that's what they are...sleazy-looking women with bleached hair. You know they're not real blondes & the joke's on them, so I'm just curious about your views on this subject.

Yes, you are right, they can bleach until their hair falls out and I can't stop them.

The name, however, is a different matter. I intend to stop them from saying they are ANY kind of Blonde. Therefore, I ask you to try and stop calling them ANY kind of Blonde. Trying to identify Bleached Brunettes by attaching derogatory words such as "unnatural" "fake" "not real" "bleached" to the name Blonde still GIVES them the name Blonde. Stop giving it to them.

You said most people don't care. Untrue. Most people care a great deal. The millions of Dumb jokes are proof that people care. The jokes are meant to CENSURE Bleached Brunettes for their behavior, attitudes and reputation. The jokes will not stop until the Bleached Brunettes have had their noses rubbed in that censure.

As for your comment, "If they don't mind being stereotyped falsely...", you seem to be missing the point here. This is a VOLUNTARILY joined group with a SELF-CREATED stereotype; they can't be "stereotyped falsely" because they CHOSE to be in the stereotype.

Also, the last part of your comment, "...more power to them for not caring what anyone has to say.", completely goes against everything I have said.

They don't care "what anyone has to say" because what everyone has to say is not in their name. In the much quoted words of Dolly Parton "Dumb Blonde jokes don't bother (us) because (we) know (we're) not Dumb and (we) know (we're) not Blonde". They get it all right and now it is time for the rest of us to get it too.

Bleached Brunettes cannot be bothered by anti-Blonde speech. They can only be bothered by anti-Bleached Brunette speech.

Pass it on.

No, I'm not missing the point at all. "Unnatural", "fake" & "bleached" aren't derogatory...they're a statement of fact. These women bleach their hair to attain blonde coloring, therefore they are fake, bleached & unnatural. You're correct in saying that they are not blonde and shouldn't be referred to as such. I'm simply saying that in reality, most people don't care because they don't know the difference anymore. Most people refer to these women as "bottle-blondes" or "bleached- blondes"...not bleached brunettes. That is a term that I've only heard few people use in reference to dark-haired women who bleach their hair. It is a politically correct term, but not one that is commonly used.

I never said that they WERE blonde, I don't know where that came from. However, I do acknowledge your position that it is a self-created stereotype on their part. Blondes & brunettes have only one real difference...the color of the hair on their heads. America, however, has divided them into two groups. There is an unfair trade-off to both. Blondes are rumored to be more attractive, have more fun, etc. However, the downside is that they are also rumored to be promiscuous, morally defunct, & have the I.Q. of a pencil. Brunettes, on the other hand, are said to be competent & intelligent. The downside for them would probably be that all they've ever heard is how fun it is being blonde, how much better blondes are, etc.

Blonde hair has been America's beauty standard for years. The ideal American woman in this society is blonde ...most people are programmed to believe that blonde hair is some potent formula for attractiveness and desirability. Is it any wonder that in a desire to conform, they would run out & bleach their hair? There aren't that many "dyed brunettes"...my term for those blondes who darken their hair, BTW. Many bleached brunettes are bleached brunettes because they have been brainwashed into believing something that isn't true...that if they cover up their own dark hair with peroxide, they will instantly be more attractive, men will flock to them more than ever, & they can temporarily play the media-driven role of "blonde." Have you ever seen/heard of that movie "Legally Blonde?" The heroine is a "real" (that is, non-bleached) blonde trying to prove herself as being more than (in her own words) "a
dumb blonde."
However, IMO, it can be said that she is guilty of pushing the myth even more...and her hair is not even bleached! Throughout the movie she prances around in tight skirts & pumps, speaks in a baby voice, giggles, pouts, makes typical "bimbo" comments, & at times is surrounded by airheaded blonde castmates...most of whom, unfortunately, do not appear to be bleached brunettes. Now I am aware that these are only actresses potraying certain roles, however these are obviously women who have not bleached their hair. So in fairness, the stereotype does not completely fall on the shoulders of bleached brunettes. They are not blameless, neither are they entirely to blame. A woman can bleach her (dark) hair & be a decent person who doesn't muddy up the virtue of blondes. I don't suppose a brunette, bleached or otherwise, coined the statement, "Blondes have more fun", do you?

Blonde means different things to different people. As for "natural" blondes...I use that term because that is what I am. I'm thirtysomething with hair that has never seen color. It was nearly white when I was a kid, then in my teens it darkened to a shade of wheat- blonde & it has remained that way ever since. It darkens slightly in the winter and turns green when I swim. Therefore I am a natural blonde & that is how I describe myself. An "unnatural blonde" in my opinion, is a woman with naturally brown or black hair who has chosen to lighten her hair using bleach. She wasn't born with it, hence the term unnatural. And even if she did indeed have naturally blond hair at one time, that isn't the case anymore, which is why she's bleaching her hair in the first place. As I said before, I know they aren't blonde. I'm sure that most people with good eyesight can tell they aren't blonde. However, these so-called bleached brunettes will not stop assuming the identity of "blonde" (whatever that is) just to make a few people happy. That's the way the world works. There are some things we can change in this world, some things we can try to change, & some things that we can't. Still, we have the right to challenge opinions and stand for what we believe in. This is obviously an issue you feel strongly about & I respect that. However, I'm curious to know what you plan to do about it. *smile*

i think bleached or not bleached itdoest really matter let them do it theres worse things like plastic surgery now thats bad and if you thnk palstic surgery is better its not true cause there u are really either putting somethng thats not you or taking stuff off you so thats worsed because when u do do that you are trualy fake ,but about hair color its something anyone can do if they want maybe there just tired of being brunnetes who knows? but you know what them not being natural blondes means that when someone throughs things in their face like a blonde joke all tey have to say is im not a natural blonde so go tell the joke to someone who is ,i know alot of girls who go blonde it does not look like how you say yellow or bleached but rather natural ,but me mysels a natural blonde dont't mind i mean let them thers worse things its just a hair color and people dont seem to mind it (only you all)i was actually thinking of going brunette to me its prettier but i still like blonde but not as much as brunette.so all im saying is let them its just a color now if you have had plastic surgery and discriminate brunettes who go blonde i wouldnt feel like i had te right to post a comment becasue now thats being fake.

Your "statement of fact" argument does not refute the derogatory nature of the words in question. Bleach and peroxide mean that the Brunette colour has been removed. The Brunette that has removed her colour by bleaching is a Bleached Brunette.

You said, "most people...don't know the difference anymore" AND "most people with good eyesight can tell"? Your response contains both statments.

America's beauty standard is the Bleached Brunette.

"Legally Blonde" is a hair bleach commercial. The bleach box has a cameo in the opening scenes. As for Reese Witherspoon she may be Blonde but she was heavily bleached for the role of the "Blonde" because Blonde was not the right colour. Bleached was the right colour.

"Blondes have more fun" is a hair bleach slogan coined by hair bleach companies.

What am I doing about it? Spreading the word. Pass it on.

carolecox@blondfrombirth.org

Hi, everyone...this might be off-topic, but a filthy little shit-eating cunt who calls herself "BambiBabeBunny" sent me a very nasty e-mail telling me I'm an ignorant bitch simply because I said that most black women don't have blonde hair.

Now I have this to say...you don't know me, you little whore. DO NOT EVER send anything to me again or I'll have you reported for online abuse. Do you make it a habit to harrass people online? Furthermore, you are the ignorant one here. What I said was true, I did not say anything against people of another race/color, & you need to get your facts straight before flaming people. How dare you???? This is a forum for people to discuss ideas, share information, express different views & share opinions...not to be harrassed and abused by idiots like you. What kind of fucking psycho are you anyway?

Eat shit & die, you ROTTEN CUNT. You're nothing but a waste of space.

*whew* Okay, I apologize if my words have offended anyone here. This isn't directed at anyone here, so please read... I want to clear up any misunderstanding.

Last night my two children (12-year-old boy, 6-year-old daughter) took turns on the computer. He wanted to read e-mail from his friends & do research for a school assignment. He clicked on an e-mail from somebody called "BambiBabeBunny" by accident. Well, I know that people run risks sometimes by posting their e-mail addresses. However, someone obviously visited this forum, read one of my posts improperly, & decided to send me an e-mail full of profanity, obscenities, and racial slurs. It is very upsetting to have your 6-year-old say, "Mommy, there's lots of bad words on the computer."

When I looked, there it was in bright bold letters. I would share the content but I deleted it immediately. My children are of mixed race (Black/White), so this person is off-base & OUT OF LINE with her hateful comments. If I'm an "ignorant racist bitch" as she says, would I be married to an African-American, something I mentioned in an earlier post? Or have had his children? I believe we can be adult and refrain from personal attacks. I don't mind people challenging my opinions or debating issues, but I draw the line at this kind of malicious, unjustified behavior. Then again, I don't believe this was an adult. Who would call herself "BambiBabeBunny", use poor grammar, & type in lavender letters? A teenage girl, that's who.

And being the coward that she is, she didn't leave her e-mail after that scathing message...some folks can dish it out but can't handle it. As I said before, I have two youngsters in my home. They should not have to look at that but unfortunately, there's no childproof on e-mail. In future, if she is reading this, I will report her for any more hate mail sent to my address. Play with yourself, little girl, & leave the grownups alone. Bye-bye! *smiles sweetly*

When I first started reading these postings I was pissed. The slightly and not so slightly racist leaning of some of the comments was disturbing. The bottom line is that the "legend" is completely untrue. No matter how much race mixing goes on in the next 200 years there will still be natural blondes. People get your head out of your asses. Race is a social construction. I know the closet nazis and some people who view themselves as being enlighted won't like this, but genetically people are the same. The genetic difference between the blackest African and the whitest European is nil. (

I will say this much. I can now understand more the backlash at the term dumb blonde. The term is stupid because hair color has nothing to do with intelligence. AlsoI would feel deeply insulted if a person put on black face and a wig, acted like an idiot, and told people he/she was african american. For some people hair color is more than a color.

Loved your comments, Greg.

Human hair colour may have nothing to do with intelligence but fake colour goes hand in hand with fake everything else. How you 'act' as a fake is acting. Fakes that act Dumb deserve to be called Dumb.

The current practice of calling the Bleached Brunettes "Dumb Blondes" just makes the Bleached Brunettes laugh because it means they can carry on business as usual without anyone identifying them in a way that means them and they know they are safe as long as they can HIDE behind the name Blonde.

The desire to censure (not censor) fakes stems from their deliberately self-constructed goal of deceiving others for power/money.

If a guy comes to your house dressed as a cop and then robs you there is no point arresting and punishing real cops. You need to find the fake, remove the false clothes and false name and establish the real identity of the robber. Allowing the robber to keep the cop clothes and the name cop would taint the police and rob them of their identity.

In the same way if a girl comes to your house looking like "the girl next door" Blonde, and then turns out to be a Bleached Brunette hooker there is no point targetting Blondes and calling them hookers. You need to call her a Bleached Brunette hooker and tell her that she cannot use the name and image Blonde as her hook.

Your comment that you would be deeply insulted if someone faked your race/colour in order to portray your race as a bunch of idiots shows that you do in fact understand how it feels to have black-faced or bleach-headed con-artists publicly proclaiming that you and your people are idiots.

Interesting comment, "For some people hair colour is more than a colour." Colour is your primary identity. When your primary identity is used by others as a business then your identity and ability to function in society is in the hands of the robber/hookers.

The CRTC and CBSC were asked by Blondes to censure a radio station for telling "Blonde Moment" stories on the air and the Blondes were told that being "Blonde is an occupation" and Blondes are therefore not considered human beings in regard to human rights protection. I have appealed this decision on the grounds that Bleached Brunettes are using the name Blonde as a business and that therefore Bleached Brunette is the occupation. Blondes are very rare and FULLY human, therefore deserving of human rights. Bleached Brunettes are only PART human and PART product, therefore they deserve only their Brunette human rights and whatever product rights the bleach companies offer.

OUT them. Never call them any kind of Blonde. Tell Dumb Bleached Brunette jokes and watch their reaction to this well-deserved censure. It won't be pretty.

You have probably never seen a Blonde. BLONDES ARE EXTREMELY RARE. 3% of caucasian adults.

You have seen hundreds and thousands of BLEACHED BRUNETTES. THEY ARE EXTREMELY COMMON. 40% of Brunettes are fully bleached.

I want you to get over calling them Blonde. They are not Blonde.

Give up calling Bleached Brunettes anything but Bleached Brunette.

I'm glad you "wouldn't wanna be in that bunch".

Think about it for a second. That's what I'm saying; I don't want to be in that bunch either but they chemically trick people into seeing MY COLOUR and they ASSUME my name so I have no choice but to FIGHT them if I don't want to be in their bunch!

I posted a few months ago.
I am 21 and natural blonde.
Thing is even though im like within the 3% I can't marry someone blonde just to carry my genes on.
There are bad things about being so blonde.
My skin is so white its almost un attractive. I dont really always look that well, so pale and almost ghost looking.
But there are also good things like my body hair can't be seen, so I dont have to shave hardly at all.
At the moment i'm trying to grow my hair to the floor ;-)

Hey Blondie!

Nice to hear from you. Have you checked out the blondfrombirth website?

Since you are so young, let me tell you, your pale skin is actually VERY delicate and the sun will damage and darken it in spots so be careful. Yeah, the not shaving thing is good. I have never shaved.

I'm growing mine long too and so is my daughter. Right now it's just at the bottom of my shoulder blades. Hers is a bit longer. We are 51 and 28.

Just a caution; you are only 21 and sometimes hair darkens much later. My daughter used to ask me well what if my hair turns brown? I would say, then you'll be a beautiful Brunette.

No, you can't marry a Blonde just to have Blonde babies but you can marry someone with some Blonde ancestry and maybe have a Blondie. Blonde genes are not "weak, recessive, or mutated". They are just specific - if there are NO Blonde genes in the partner then there is nothing for the Blonde genes to pair with and no possibility of a Blonde. Obviously some partners would have no Blonde genes and therefor your Blonde genes would never be able to pair and create a Blonde child.

I would like to know about your experiences and how being Blonde affects you. I would also like to know how you think the Bleached Brunette culture affects you. Are there emotional, social or financial consequences?

Its all very simple. We can't say for certain whether or not the Nordic, blonde woman will become extinct in the future for sure. What we can say is that the blonde, with fair, white skin and blue eyes is the most attractive universally, and will always be so. This is not to mean that the Caucasian brunette or redhead(with even paler complexion) is not attractive. It just means that all of you blondes out there have a distinct advantage of having more desirable characteristics than women of other cultural backgrounds.
People in Japan and India for example have a high preference for blondes, and if an attractive blonde walks the street in Italy, the traffic can stop! People in the Middle East go hay-wire for a white woman with Nordic features and blonde hair, the list is endless.
Whatever the reason, blondes are popular and universally desirable.
We can only hope that they will never die out.

Thanks, Deevan. Thanks for saying that Blondes have a rightful place in this world. I believe that if we Blondes can control our own name we will no longer be publicly ridiculed and persecuted by those infected with bleach mania.

I don't know if anyone realizes this but it is very difficult for me to WORK because I am constantly confronted with women who toss their bleach in my face and tell me they are "Blonde" and they know a good Dumb "Blonde" joke.

Imagine if a person of African ancestry had to put up with this; say 6 times a day a white person came in with shoepolish on their face and proceeded to tell a Dumb "Nigger" joke.

I know how it feels. It makes you sick to your stomach and it makes you feel like a slave when you have no right to DIGNITY like other people. In fact, when other people have the right to use and abuse your name and image for PROFIT you are their slave.

First of all, it is very possible for a biracial/multiracial person to have blonde hair. My friend's brother has a biracial daughter that has long strawberry blonde hair and a caramel complexion. Her mother is a natural redhead. Also, Nicole Richie is multiracial and it is possible that she could have been born with dark blonde hair. I've seen pictures of her and Paris Hilton when they were young and it was obvious that she was somewhat blonde. Next, for the person that said that Hollywood insisted Marilyn Monroe to become a blonde is wrong b/c Marilyn took it upon herself to dye her hair and no one forced her to. She dyed it platinum blonde b/c Jean Harlow was her idol. And to those of you who are against African American women with blonde hair and brunettes that bleach their hair, no one cares what you think b/c everyone should have fun with life including styles and haircolor.

I have a question.

My dad is swiss, blond, blue eyed.

My mom is 1\2 spanish, 1\2 russian. from both sides, she has only dark haired grandparents, and only one of them has green eyes.

However, out of their 4 children, 2 are blond, one brunnete(me), and one black.

How is this possible?

Here's hoping there is someone listening; ONLY BLONDES ARE BLONDE.

Brunettes, no matter what you do to them, even if they were "Blonde as children", are still Brunettes. They are not Blonde. They do not have any right to use the name because if I am Blonde and you are Bleached Brunette and using my name, then I DON'T HAVE A NAME OF MY OWN and you have TWO NAMES. People with two names are OBVIOUSLY FRAUDS. Get over it, stop repeating over and over that Brunettes and Africans are Blonde. They are not Blonde. It is just a lie. Just a lie, folks.

You really should stop saying Marilyn and Jean were Blonde. They were both Bleached Brunettes with burnt-up, breaking off, bleach hair and they both ended up wearing WIGS BECAUSE THEY WENT BALD and they both died VERY YOUNG from the effects of their bleached hair and their bleached hair LIFESTYLE.

If you have one Blonde parent from one side and a Blonde grandparent somewhere from the other side you can have children who grow up to be Blondes. People with Brunette parents and grandparents can have children who start out Blonde and then turn Brunette.

People always say "Blonde is recessive" but actually it seems that Blonde is just rare. Among North American native people who appear to be pure native there is often a long-ago Blonde from the Viking eras and when these pure-looking natives have children with Blonde people they often have honest-to-God Blonde as adult children. I have heard that they think Blonde is dominant over their genes. The fact is that Blonde will match up with Blonde if POSSIBLE but there has to be Blonde for it to happen.

After wading through the mostly self-indulgent pap on this page, I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Think I'll opt for laughter. Just about, anyway.

I've visited blondfrombirth.org and I'm struggling to understand just what the hell you people are getting your non-slutty-natural-blonde panties in a twist about.

Natural blondes require support and added recognition of their human rights because... ? Because of their natural hair colour? Because they may have taken the myriad stupid blonde jokes a tad too seriously? Good god. Think of the number of jokes there are out there featuring Irish people and unfair Irish stereotypes. Think of the number of jokes about homosexuals. Or fat people. Or politicians. Or cops. Or priests. Since you're so keen on statistics (lies, damned lies, and then statistics, eh?) I'll give you an estimate. Perhaps about 1% (absolute tops) of all jokes, are blonde jokes.

Perspective, my dears, perspective.

Should ugly people require extra support and added recognition of their rights and grievances just because they're not as pleasantly formed as more handsome people? Because they don't get asked out on as many dates or may have been missed out on a job to an equally qualified, but more 'presentable' person?

Gimme a break. There are more downtrodden 'minority groups' wailing for attention out there than there are blades of grass in a particularly lush ten acre meadow.

Here's a suggestion: go visit the burns unit at your local hospital and bear witness to some genuine problems and heartache stemming from physical disfigurement/physical traits.

As it is, this blonde sob story holds about as much weight as someone with green eyes ranting because a blue-eyed person chooses to wear green contacts on occasion. And, no, I am not attempting to gloss over your undoubtedly gutwrenching hardships. Gee, yes, it must be tough being able-bodied and healthy, all five senses intact and uhh.. hey, even white too! Gosh, the mind just boggles at how much hardship you must have had to endure being a white, able-bodied American blonde. My heart bleeds.

I'll pass over the other closet racist trash on this page. I'm sure that anyone with half a brain (even blondes... I'm teasing, my dears, really *wink*) will recognise self-deluding racist rubbish for what it is. For the record, I live in a part of the world that is populated predominantly with pale haired, pale eyed, pale skinned people. As a result, darker features seem to be in demand. Maybe that's what this is all about? Are natural blondes resentful because those who bleach their hair have wrecked the element of rarity that should accompany blonde hair, so now brunette is actually more desirable? Well, boo hoo.

What shallowness.

Those who dye their hair do so purely for personal reasons. It is their choice. If they want to dye their hair magenta and fashion it in 12 inch spikes- it is, again, their choice. Are you saying that people with greying hair who choose to cover that grey, are less deserving of respect or common courtesy? If so, you're a breathtaking hypocrite. Your whole argument is based on not making unfair assumptions and snap judgements based on a particular shade of hair. But at the same time you demean and write off a person knowing nothing of their character, personality or intelligence, just based on their decision to experiment with hair colour.

Just by the by, I'm a 22 year old female who colours her hair on occasion. My hair is naturally white and I colour it brown. Sometimes red. Sometimes brown with honey highlights. Sometimes red with black lowlights. Sometimes I even leave it as it is (gasp!). I think you need to recognise that hair is merely an accessory. It says absolutely nothing about the core of a person. If you think it does, then I'm afraid you must be either a) a raving lunatic b) an idiot c) a shallow hypocrite or d) all of the above.

Yeah, and I'm sure if you smeared shoe-polish on your face you could call yourself a Dumb African and nobody would mind. Right.

So YOU don't care that people use the NAME Blonde for Bleached Brunette sex-fetish business and you think they need to be defended so they can keep on doing it.

Well I care and I WILL ATTACK THEM because I AM NOT THEM and I refuse to roll over and say that a bunch of race-whores can use my NAME.

Blonde people require support and recognition because they are a tiny highly recognizable colour minority of 3% in North America that is being BULLIED by a huge group of PARASITES. 40% of North American Brunettes are now FULLY BLEACHED.

Does that sound like a fair fight? Well, no, I doubt that even you would call that fair but I bet you would also say WHO CARES? You apparently think that bullying, lying, cheating, whoring and stealing are worthwhile pursuits. They are, but only for mean, stupid, immoral, liars, cheaters and thieves.

Oh for crying out loud, woman, wake up to yourself.

I'm starting to wonder about your mental health, truly. I apologise if I'm picking on a paranoid schizophrenic here.

No one is bullying you at all. To state the painfully obvious- not every woman who bleaches her hair blonde does so as "a sex fetish." Your ego is getting in the way of your judgement here. Many women colour their hair brown or red or magenta or multi-tonal layers of different shades.

YOU are perpetuating and nurturing the kind of stereotypes that you claim to deeply resent. YOU are slandering women with blonde hair, forgetting that the public do not differentiate between natural and bleached. YOU are not making any effort to be broad-minded or inclusive or accepting of the fact that the vast majority of women who colour their hair (whatever the shade) are NOT 'dumb whores.'

So YOU are doing the damage here. This garbage about brunette 'sisters' dealing with their bleached 'sisters'. Jesus H. Christ. We're all women. And, honey, there are plenty of issues that still negatively affect women as a group. Don't be divisive. And don't be short-sighted. If you honestly believe that bleached blonde hair is a sign of whoreishness, then you're obviously neglecting to pin part of the blame for this on a MEDIA SATURATED SOCIETY that is, at the very least, HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY MEN.

Why vent your bile on women with coloured hair when it is men who eat up magazines populated with these airbrushed bleached clones... like Playboy, GQ, Penthouse, Esquire, Men's Health etc. Supply and demand, my dear. Supply and demand.

DO NOT BLAME WOMEN FOR THE WEAKNESS OF MEN. It's the same argument that apologists for rapists use. "She was asking for it, wearing that short skirt and makeup." Bullshit.

And don't even try to liken "blonde" to "African," or compare grievances of either group. It's insulting. Since when have blondes been segregated or enslaved or disenfranchised? Good god. Get a grip on yourself and your all-encompassing ego and horrendous short-sightedness.

I don't give a rat's ass about your hair colour or my hair colour or anyone else's chosen/natural/adopted/bleached hair colour. Grow up, acquire a little depth and maturity and ditch this shallow garbage. There are bigger things in the world to worry about. There are far greater grievances and prejudices and horrific human rights abuses. If the worst thing you ever have to endure in your existence is an off-colour dumb blonde joke, then you'll have led a pretty charmed life, my dear.

Wake up, smell the coffee. And don't be damnably superficial. You give WOMEN, let alone natural blondes, a very bad name indeed. For shame.

Maybe you missed this but what I am trying to do is MAKE THE PUBLIC DIFFERENTIATE between Blondes and Bleached Brunettes. Have you got that yet?

You apparently still don't get that these women are NOT Bleached "Blondes". They are Bleached BRUNETTES and they can bloody well use their own name. Got that now?

As for bleach and whores, 70% of prostituted women are BLEACHED BRUNETTES. Anybody who bleaches VOLUNTARILY joins this group. Maybe not everyone who bleaches is a whore BUT by bleaching and ASSUMING the name Blonde they are consenting to ASSOCIATE themselves.

I DO NOT CONSENT. Did you hear me? I DO NOT CONSENT.

Every BLACK person I have ever spoken to about this AGREES WITH ME because they know that The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, guarantees, first and foremost, THE RIGHT TO DIGNITY, for everyone, without prejudice against their HUMAN race, colour or ethnic origin.

Nobody has the right to INHERENT DIGNITY for choosing to put chemicals on themselves.

And while we are at it, why not bring the Jews in? There is a very famous quote that says if you ignore bullies when they are attacking others then when the time comes that they go after you there will be nobody to defend you either.

I am going to look that quote up and post it right after this.

carolecox@blondfrombirth.org

"In Germany, they first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Catholic. Then they came for me - and by that time there was nobody left to speak up." Martin Niemoller

That quote does not tell us what the communists, trade unionists, and Catholics said but I can guarantee you that they did not say NOTHING. I'm sure they screamed their bloody heads off but nobody LISTENED.

Wow, there are some real nuts here. Such as the racist guy who suggested the Nazis were on the right track, and Carol, who acts like bleached blondes (oh, excuse me, bleach BRUNETTES) are ruining her life, are all dumb whores, and she deserves more cause she's a NATURAL blonde. Like life isn't already better. Some people are brainwashed to think blonde is better, therefore you have it a lot better. Try being mixed-race, it sucks way more. Not to mention being told that you're not pretty or good enogh because your hair is too dark. I haven't dyed my hair, but when everyone is telling you blonde is better, and hotter, it makes you feel inferior. That's what compels these girls to dye their hair. I love my hair color, it's a lovely, rich mahogany color- NOT mousy the way M. Peltonen seems to think all brunettes are, but I can't help feeling a little bit inferior, because people are brainwashed to prefer blonde hair. Even in the 80s cartoon and dolls Lady Lovely Locks, the heroine was blonde, and her sidekicks had red and LIGHT brown hair (the light brunette was occasionally blonde as well), while the villainess had raven-colored hair. From childhood, the heroines were blonde, and villainesses dark-haired. Then when you get older, it's the "hot blondes" that guys seem to like. Sure, they'll go after brunettes, too, but they emphazise blondes, like if they spot a gorgeous brunette, she's a "hot chick", her hair color isn't really remarkable, but if she was a blonde, she'd be a "hot blonde", which seems to say, "Not only is she hot, she's blonde, too!" Is it any wonder these women feel they have to bleach their hair? deevan's post did nothing to help boost my spirits.

You know, Sakura, YOU ARE ON TO SOMETHING!

In your opening remarks you suggest that I think Bleached Brunettes are ruining my life.

Well, guess what, Bleached Brunettes are also ruining YOUR life.

Almost everyone IS some shade of Brunette and most shades are BEAUTIFUL in their own way.

ALL of the so-called "Blondes" that are supposedly "hot" "beautiful" etc are NOT BLONDES.

If all these women weren't bleaching then the VERY VERY FEW Blondes would be what they are, a simple rarity that can't compete for your guy and her guy because there just aren't enough Blondes to compete for your guys. We also have NO INTENTION of trying to get your guys. We don't DO anything to attract them.

It's only when you get MILLIONS of deliberate fakes running around screaming "Blonde, Blonder, Blondest" at all the guys that Brunettes have any competition from ANYBODY. Don't you see the competition is NOT BLONDES? The competition is Bleached Brunettes.

You Brunettes that are sick of everything always being "Blonde" can stop this whole stupid thing just by taking the name Blonde away from the Brunettes that are bleached. Then they will still have to compete with YOU as Brunettes and they won't win because the guys will not want a woman they have to introduce as a BLEACHED Brunette.

You know how Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears and ALL of the "Blonde" "celebrity" women are all constantly thrown in our faces and our guys faces? Well, it just wouldn't work for them if their big spread said "Hot Bleached Brunette Shows Everything AGAIN!" THESE WOMEN NEED THE NAME BLONDE or they are TOAST. I can just hear Jay Leno introducing Hilton and Ritchie as "2 super-hot Dumb Bleached Brunettes straight from their hit show!"

And for the record I don't think I deserve more because I'm Blonde but I sure don't think I deserve LESS. Trust me, Blondes get nothing but insults. The special treatment we get is hearing someone say that a bleach bimbo is "so Blonde!!!" and then being told that "you're not as Blonde as she is, in fact, you're not Blonde at all, in comparison to her!" Well, yeah, actual Blonde hair is NOTHING like bleached hair. So, that's what Blondes get; we get told we're NOT BLONDE.

So why don't we get together, us NATURAL HUMAN-COLOURED women and dump some well-deserved justice all over these bleach-coloured women? That's all I want.

For your information my Mom was a fabulous Brunette AND I have 5 Brunette sisters and just like you said about your beautiful hair, they ALL HAD INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL shades-of-brown hair!

One of the things that really makes me sick is how they are selling bleach to "high-light" your hair. That is such a lie! What bleach does is REMOVE your natural high-lights and leave you with bleach-lights. I wish everyone would stop bleaching and show off what GOD gave them not what some CORPORATION sold them.

I really hope you get what I'm saying, Sakura, because I am not your enemy. We both have the same enemy and together we could actually win.

You may have a point, Carol. Most bleachers scream, "Look at me, I'm BLONDE!" after they dye their hair, and may act ditzy to get attention. The ones in the porn industry (whose roots you can generally see) are the reason there's some crazy stereotype that blondes are bustier than brunettes. If that was the case, then my genetic code must have gon haywire, for I am brunette and far from flat-chested. Most "ethnic" women, except for maybe Asians tend to be curvier than Caucasian women. I think they act dumb on purpose.

From beginning to end, everything that Bleached Brunettes do has a purpose.

The blinding bleach spot-light on their heads DRAGS everyone's eyes straight to them.

The name Blonde is an ASSUMED identity or an alias that is useful as long as it still retains the characteristics of a cover. It has to be a GOOD name or you can't hide behind it.

With everything that Bleached Brunettes have done to the GOOD name Blonde it is amazing that it is still considered a GOOD name.

The reason for this is simple; adult Blondes are extremely rare BUT Blonde children are extremely COMMON. 30% of caucasian children are BLONDE. Bleached Brunettes purposefully simulate child-hood characteristics including hair colour, dumbness, and innocense. Bleachers mince, giggle, lisp, and say things like "OOPS!" which tells everyone that they are just harmless little Blonde babies. The "Blonde" personalities they 'put-on' are baby personalities.

The purpose of a fully mature WOMAN hiding herself behind babies is to make her aggressive adult sexuality less threatening by making people think that she's actually just a little girl 'playing' and she doesn't really 'know' what she's doing.

Anyway, Sakura, and anyone else who's reading, try this; DON'T allow Bleached Brunettes to USE the name Blonde. If anyone tells you a Dumb "Blonde" joke or says they are having a "Blonde" Moment then just say to them, "You know what, I heard that joke as a Dumb Bleached Brunette joke." and "You know what, I think you're having a Bleached Brunette Moment."

You people need many many many years of therapy and medication. Also, you may want to actually read a genetics book and see how traits are passed. Two black haired people can (in fact) have a recessive blonde hair gene and pass it to their child, hence their child could have blonde hair. Two browned eyed people can (in fact) have a blued eyed gene and pass it to their child. Ditto for skin color. Ditto for straight hair. However two blue eyed people CAN NOT have a brown eyed child, as blue eyes, as well as blonde hair is RECCESSIVE - thereby the saying "Mama's baby is daddy's maybe?" Find a good genetics books, one written by actual MDs or PHds - NOT Ku Klux Klan members. The "white" can come from the "black," but the reverse is not true. God had his own plan. But who am I to confuse you with the facts! P.S. Color does not make one superior. Hopefully you do not use color to judge people.

Blondes are in short supply nowadays if we look at the overall population trends worldwide. I think someone should start a business to "produce" more blondes. Here's the idea. Collect and store sperm from attractive blond men. Then, enlist attractive blonde women to be egg donors. The blond sperm will be matched with the blonde eggs to form blonde embryos. Now, here comes the critical part, the frozen embryos will be made available to non-blondes or even non-Caucasian women. For example, an Asian woman can choose to give birth to a blonde child and raise the child as her own this way. Even better yet, the sex of the embryo can be pre-selected by sorting the X and Y chromosome sperm before fertilization.

If I had my way, I would start this business and encourage women of all ethnicities to choose a blonde daughter. Think of the effect on the world, especially the Third World. The mess that is happening and worsening day by day will slowly be transformed with the injection of blonde beauties.

Let's admit it. Blondes are more fun and blondes have more fun. Men all over the world prefer blondes (generally speaking). So, if men all over the world have blondes to love, then there wouldn't be so much fighting and bloodshed. People would be busy loving and romancing each other. Better yet, if more and more blond men are created, then the overall picture of the entire world will become more "golden." When more people start to love themselves and love each other, more good energy is generated. The world will become less violent. There will be more hope, more happiness, more harmony, and more goodwill.

To wrap up, let me predict the future of the world in two words: blonde paradise. (Which will take at least two centuries, I guess.... and hope....)

I find it very interesting that everyone wants to discuss "Blondes" but refuses to discuss Bleached Brunettes. Without using the name "Blonde" let's hear what you have to say about Bleached Brunettes.

Blondes are actually far too rare to discuss at all (3%).

Bleached Brunettes who have ASSUMED the name Blonde for 'business' purposes are extremely common (40%).

Obviously people who are using a false identity are unlikely to contribute to world peace. False identities are always related to criminal or anti-social activities.

carolecox@blondfrombirth.org

What hasn't really been addressed here is the aggressiveness of the blonde gene. It is indeed regressive,
however, it is unique in as much as two genuine blondes must have offspring with blonde hair. No other
hair colour has that property. Even two negroes with black hair can have offspring with red hair. All
groups can produce albino offspring also. Blonde hair often shows up after generations of brunettes. The
gene persists because of its agressive properties. For instance, there are 15% more genuine blondes in
the UK than there were 50 years ago, according to the latest DNA research. So, I do not believe blondes
will become extinct. They will still be around in thousands of years. Just look at India and Afghanistan,
where there are many Blondes, and don't forget Turkey, which has a surprisingly high proportion of blonde
haired people.

Interesting comments from Dr. Hans re "aggressive" Blonde genes. I have noticed this myself.

For thousands of years Blondes have been hunted, abducted, raped and enslaved for their genetic qualities. The rapists and slavers stole those genes and to say that the genes now belong to them is like saying that the purse-snatcher now owns your purse just because he stole it from you. Luckily, the way the Blonde gene works, if the stolen purse comes into contact with it's rightful owner it will leap right out of the thief's hands and back into it's real owners hands.

When non-Blondes that carry the Blonde gene mate with other Blonde-gene carrying people then the Blonde gene takes over because Blonde plus Blonde always creates Blonde.

This doesn't mean that some "Turks" or "Blacks" are Blonde. It means that some Turks or Blacks carry a gene that isn't theirs and when this gene meets up with it's own kind it cancels out the Turk or Black gene.

I do think the statement that there are 15% more Blondes in the UK now is a bit misleading. This sounds like there are a lot more Blondes in the UK now but what it translates to is that Blondes were extremely rare in the UK and are still extremely rare.

I respect every human race, colour and ethnic origin and consider them beautiful.

Maybe this is because I am a visual artist. I am not blinded. When a woman has bleach-lights in her hair I can see that her real high-lights are GONE. And I miss them.

If Blondes did disappear, how would anybody know?

8 out of 10 so-called "Blondes" is a Bleached Brunette.

In some ways we don't exist already. Nobody seeks us out. Nobody wants our opinion.

Everyone seeks out Bleached Brunettes for the 'official' "Blonde" opinion. The most notorious standard sex-fetish types get the most press; Britney Spears, Madonna, Pamela Anderson etc.

The Bleached Brunette opinion is that "Blonde" is a Brunette business and that what they do with "Blonde" is nobody elses business, (especially Blondes).

As far as they are concerned Blondes have NO RIGHTS to protect or promote their own name, reputation, and image.

I would like them OUTED. I just want them to use their own name and stop hiding behind Blondes.

We are too small a group to fight back and we are being distressed by a huge wealthy group who makes their money off of us.

I used to be a blonde when i was young. When i got older, my hair turned dark. I just had to dye it back, so i did. that's my story.

I live in Australia.

Growing up i was always made fun of, because of my lighter coloured hair. Fairy and Frosty were my names growing up. People would always make a point of my hair colour. Why? i think it was because it was the easiest thing to pick that was different about me to the people who were picking on me. Some thing visual they could base their dislike for me on. But i think the real reason for the names was because i wasnt strong enough or wasnt as aggressive in sports or whatever. I didnt live up to their expectations of what a "good bloke" was. So they made the jokes from that.

If you feel you are being vicitimised or singled out in anyway, its generaly not going to be because your blonde, but because of your attitude. And that is your attitude is different from someone elses.

Im older now and wiser. My Hair is darker, and sandy brown colour. Carol might say im a bastard. And people still call me a dumb blonde. So im being called a dumb blonde, but im not, and im bringing the good blonde name into disripute. And dont dye or alter my hair chemically in any way.

People always want what they are not. Me i wish i were stronger, smarter and blonder. Why? because then i would actually be blonde and people could single me out correctly!!! Or conversely i wish i were as dark as night.

The western world is in a troubled time socially. All the men are supposed to be tall, dark, hung well and handsome. All the women are supposed to be tall, blonde, big breasted and curvey. It cant possibly work out, without genetic engineering. And thats why i think genetic engineering of humans will happen. We cant help ourselves. All this colouring of hair and plastic surgery. I dont see that as a good thing.

Beauty to me is something rare. Not something just blonde. It seems strange that people colour their hair blonde thinking that it will make them more attractive. What rubbish. And they're still doing it today. I do think that it is wrong to change your hair clolour just as it is wrong to change your appearance with surgery, or in any way. Hair straightening\curling is another one. The ONLY time i can see plastic surgery being allowable is if someone has been involved in an accident. It is a lie, why would you lie about yourself to someone else.

But then this is the age of lieing. People lie about job experience, qualifications, appearance, sexual experiences et al ....

I myself am not much of a sexual Tiger. I dont realy feel the need to have sex every single day. And people are looked upon as inferior because they arent slaves to their genitals!! If i had/looked for sex more than once every souple of weeks then i would be on some kind of sexual drug.

Intelligence to me seems to be an opinion. If more people agree with you, then you're smart.

* About that dark people cant have blonde hair idea, its true. Although there have been young aboriginal kids with blonde hair they, get darker as they grow older. And ironicaly thats how the British knew the Dutch and beaten them in finding Australia ("the mythical southern continent"), they saw little aboriginal kids with straw yellow hair on the shore. The Dutch decided to leave Australia as they didnt like it. Cpt. Cook came around later and claimed it in the name on the british crown.

A person with "sandy brown" hair probably has a lot of subtle high-lights.

In a world of Brunettes with glossy blue or shimmering brown high-lights, the swirl of gold high-lights is noticable.

In a world of fully bleached or heavily bleach-streaked Brunettes the swirl of gold high-lights is invisible.

Seeing millions of Bleached Brunette images is enough to make any Blonde feel less than "Blonde!".

I am a Blonde for sure and yet, people this year, five years ago, twenty years ago etc have said to my face that I'm not Blonde by their bleached definition.

Never use hair shampoo etc that is orange or yellow-looking. These are dyes and Blonde hair will absorb the colour. Bleached Brunettes have always used 'special' blue shampoo but until the last few years most regular shampoo was ORANGE.

I mention this because my hair turned orangeish or you might say 'sandy brown' when my mom started buying cheap shampoo that was just fine for my 5 Brunette sisters and 2 Brunette brothers but which made my hair dull and ugly. Clear shampoo is best. "Clarifying' to remove build-up is also necessary for Blonde hair.

The USA is infatuated with itself as the "Blonde" Master-race when in reality it is 95% Brunette and all of it's "Blondes" are Brunettes too.

The actual Blondes, a tiny minority, are subject to life-long criticism and rejection.

Actual Blondes are not part of the American "Blonde" Master-race. Those are ALL Bleached Brunettes.

"A former Blonde" is a Brunette. You are what you are.

Get over being a Blonde baby. It was a long time ago. You are a grown-up with dark hair. Bleaching it just creates a false self that uses a false name. Be YOUR self. Don't be a corporate Master-race product.

Sweet jesus, I can't believe you guys have been bitch-slapping each other over hair colour. It's merely a fashion fad. Some people grow out of it, some don't, just like how some people still wear 80's fashion, and others are upto date with what's hot in Milan. It's no big deal. No need to throw a hissy fit just because someone dyed their 'blonde', and they've been called 'blonde' just because that's what people identify *that* hair colour as being. That's just anal retentiveness on your part. It's for fun. People use their bodies to express themselves one way or another. Don't burst your blood vessel over it.

Yeah, like Blonde MEANS Bleached Brunette, yeah, like.

Sorry, Brunettes...Blonde is not YOUR name. It's MY name and my identity. Blondes like me have a genetic and historic obligation to uphold the DIGNITY of our "race, colour and ethnic origin".

That, by the way, is the whole basis of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

SIMPLE dignity for people of YOUR race, YOUR colour, YOUR ethnicity.

Bleach does not change your race, colour or ethnicity.

Bleach is a PRODUCT. If you add bleach to YOUR race, colour, and ethnicity then "bleached" gets attached to YOUR name.

Brunettes are refusing to have the product name "bleached" attached to their name but they insist on forcibly attaching it to MY name.

Come out, you know I'm at the point of thinking you're all cowards, come out.

I'd like to hear a Bleached Brunette identify herself without using the name Blonde. That sounds fair to me.

Just to pick up on a point made by "Blatant" in response to the half-witted comments of "Nazrac" - Blatant you are right, any dominant gene cannot be bad, or it would be evident and de-selected through breeding. The counterpoint is that any recessive gene is unlikely to represent an evolutionary advantage, otherwise it would not be recessive.

In short - the harsh scientific suggestion (and I wouldn't read too much into it) is that blonde hair and blue eyes are, indeed, "inferior", though why, I cannot guess - maybe something to do with light coloured animals being uncompetitive as they are easily spotted by prey, hunters etc.

But to all blondes out there, don't be too despondent. Appearance is the most superficial genetic trait after all.

I'm from the north of Europe, by the way, and there are the full spectrum of blondes, red heads, brown hairs and black hairs in my family - can't say I notice any individuals being noticeably superior/inferior to the others.

Advice to Nazrac - give up your scientifically wrong, mean-spirited and vindictive Nazi pish - there are enough destructive idiots in the world already.

BTW, I love blonde women, but the absolutely sexiest hair colour is the blue-black hair you often get in Chinese/Asian type babes. That's the last word.

I agree with Morgana.

Carol,if your hair turned brown you would probably bleach it blonde and that would make you a "bleached brunette".

I'm a bleached brunette and I'm not dumb or slutty at all.And whenever someone refers to me as a blonde I tell them the truth;that I'm a natural brunette but I dyed my hair blonde because it looks better with my eyes.

I have Blonde hair.

The funny thing is, Brunettes frequently tell me that my hair IS Brunette. They think this is the worst insult. I tell them that I would rather anyone call me Brunette than call me bleached.

However, by their/your insane criteria I should have already bleached myself since I'm not Blonde by bleach standards. And guess what! I'm NOT bleached.

I would rather be the blackest HONEST soul on this earth than the latest winner of the who-can-be-the-biggest-bleached-whore in Hollywood (or at the local bar) today contest.

Everyone who has Brunette hair and bleaches it is a Bleached BRUNETTE.

This is simple arithmetic; bleach PLUS Brunette equals Bleached Brunette.

Nowhere in that equation is there any Blonde anything.

Blondes have been FORCIBLY associated with Bleached Brunettes and WE are actively disassociating.

We want them OUTed and FORCED to answer to their own name because they are a distinct group which has voluntarily created it's own well-known stereotype; the Dumb Bleached Brunette.

They have hidden their identity behind the name Blonde so that people said the Dumb Bleached jokes were about Blondes but soon people will know the difference and they will start telling very funny Dumb Bleached Brunette jokes.

Here is a bleached brunette joke:

Why don't bleached brunettes breast feed their babies?

Because it hurts when they boil their nipples!

Go Jenna!

Just a reminder to anyone who finds Dumb Bleached Brunette jokes disturbing; nobody is born bleached and anybody who doesn't want to have Dumb Bleached Brunette jokes directed at them can just stop bleaching.
