Why have blondes been given this stereotypical reputation of being stupid or dumb?

Q: It may sound depressing but ever since a young age i’ve had BEAUTIFUL blonde hair. Lovley soft shiny hair that looked great all of the time had another side of the coin a side i discovered when i was about 9-10, being called a “dumb blonde” and silly comments like “of coure you don’t understand, your blonde” or “why does she get rewarded she’s blonde”. I’m now much wiser and mature i have learnt to ignore the racist comments but I’m still curious. Why have blondes been given this stereotypical reputation of being stupid or dumb?

A: Oh God, I know, I can’t stand this. To be honest I think it’s probably because society wants blonde, traditionally “aryan” women to feel stupid and worthless. Because the fact is, they’re the smartest, most beautiful women on the planet for the most part. I mean look at Scandinavian culture, where blonde hair originates — AMAZING. Look at their societies, their discoveries and inventions, look at the science they were capable of thousands of years ago with the incredible boats they built. Scandinavians explored America BEFORE there were even Natives in most areas yet! That means they were such amazing explorers, navigators and survivalists that they were not only able to travel across the entire world on a boat, but also explore strange countries they’d never been to and discover places that hadn’t even been discovered by the people who lived there!Never never never feel “stupid” for being blonde. Blonde is beautiful and the idea that there is anything clumsy or dumb about being blonde is just idiotic. Like I said, I think the myth has no basis in reality and is only in circulation because society wants “aryans” to feel inferior when really they’re, if anything, just the opposite. And I think blonde girls are stunningly beautiful, and my girlfriend is a blonde German and she’s both highly intellectual and absolutely gorgeous. Myth busted ;)EDIT: And Amanda, keep telling yourself that — but blonde is most definitely a race. Look up “race” in the dictionary if you don’t think so. “Race” means nothing but “group”, and any group of people united by common social traits is a race. Saying that blondes are stupid IS racism to the highest degree. Just another reason I think people only say it to take the “racism” spotlight off other races and focus it on blondes, who have nothing to ACTUALLY criticize.
