Being Blonde
Who decided to insult the entire population with the recessive blonde hair trait? He (for I'm quite certain that only a man could be so unfeeling to say such an offensive slur) probably has no idea how much grief he has caused. Does he know that because of his initial "blondes are dumb" comment, countless dumb blonde jokes plagued me during my childhood? I'm sure he doesn't know that in retaliation, my overly sensitive seven-year-old self made several unintentionally racist jokes towards my sisters with black hair. I could spew out more reasons why this man deserves to be severely pummeled, but I'm mortified to say that perhaps there is some merit to his argument. I, a through and through natural blonde, acted in a very "blonde" manner tonight, which I am very ashamed of. I'm ashamed that I acted in such a careless manner, but I dare say I'm more ashamed because I realize that I am living proof that such a stigma has some validity. Shame.
