Hello Siteadmin - curious name :-)
As a blonde,
I was searching the internet looking for information about blond
issues...i.e. real issues like where do blondes come from, why
etc... and found your website.
I liked your argument against the "snow turning the
hair white" garbage. Living in Australia I am aware that
Aboriginals here did not change their colour or appearance for
65,000 years even though they lived in vastly different climatic
regions.
But I am curious as to where this blonde business comes
from and, more importantly, why. There must be a reason blondness
suddenly appeared because all other biological features in the
world appear to have a reason.
Do you know any articles or sites that have some information on
the evolution of blondness? Are those of us who are blond all
descended from the same line?? Is it true that blondness is only
a Scandinavian trait?
Anyhow, any info you can pass on would be greatly
appreciated - I want to look into this further and I am now inspired
to lodge a formal complaint the next time I hear or see an offensive
"blond" portrayal. We have very good anti discrimination
and anti racial hatred laws in Australia and a good system for
seeing them through.
Don't know if this thought ever struck you, but whilst
the world is obsessed with blond jokes a quick look at the world
reveals that the most advanced nations on the planet socially
and politically are those with the highest percentage of blondes
- the Scandinavian countries. The poorest members of the European
union are those nations with the lowest percentage of blondes
in their populations. The worlds oldest continuous Parliament
exists in Iceland - the worlds most isolated group of blondes.
It strikes me that rather than being the dumbest,
we have a proven track record of being the most advanced people
socially and politically on the face of the planet!
Mother Nature has conspired to give humans a road
map to the reproductive organs by giving each of us a hairsuite
arrow pointing to these organs. Similarly, perhaps that's why
some of us have blonde hair - so the others can identify the more
"civilized" amongst them :-)
hopefully you can direct me to some further information,
well done Eero T. Adelaide, South Australia
