An example of stereotype inaccuracy: Among white women, there is no evidence that blondes have lower IQs than other hair color groups (brown, red, black). If anything, blondes have slightly higher IQs. @ImHardcoryconfirmed at Blonde jokes aren't funny, very enlightening article.
@dklndt Replying to @ImHardcory:
This particular stereotype is inaccurate because it is recent and manufactured on purpose. "Shiksas bad", basically.
at the end of this article are very relevant examples of hair color stereotyping in modern time Sweden.The current blonde stereotype began in the U.S. of the early 20th century. It was a product of ethnic contact between the native-born population and darker-haired immigrants (Italians, Jews, Greeks, etc.) who were often shocked by the relative sexual freedom of ‘American’ women. This attitude existed in different communities, but it entered the mainstream culture primarily via Jewish immigrants and specifically through their contributions to art and literature. It is a common theme in Jewish-American novels:
The exotic female in Jewish life is the sexy shiksa, frequently a blue-eyed blonde who offers gratifications withheld, at least until marriage, by proper Jewish girls. […] A blend of arrogance and defensiveness prompts many Jews to claim that shiksas are more carnal and promiscuous than women of their own faith because Christians are less intelligent, refined, and clean than themselves. Goyishe Kopf (literally translated as gentile head), the Yiddish colloquialism for stupidity, exemplifies the traditional contempt for Christians. - The Quest for the Ultimate Shiksa by Frederic Cople Jaher
