Because the stereotypical blonde is pictured as "attractive" at the expense of "intelligent". In the West, at least, attractive women are said to have less impetus to develop their minds.
- ALL blondes are NOT dumb. But some have gray matter that is partially bleached out.
- Blondes aren't dumb. Non-blondes are just jealous, so they call them dumb. It is a myth. After all, "blonds" are generally acknowledged as brainy.
So everyone else (brunettes, readheads, black-haired and grey-haired women) are always and exclusively intelligent? Wow! That is AWESOME! - I think I will buy myself a dark haired wig.
Or, could it be that dumb is dumb, as nasty is nasty, as nice is nice, no matter what the hair color?

It is a stereotype that is not true or fair. Hair color does not determine intelligence, and attributing certain characteristics to someone based on their appearance is not accurate or respectful. Intelligence is a complex trait that varies among individuals regardless of their hair color.

∙ 13y agoABSOLUTELY NOT! Some blonds are brainy. No way.I'm blond and my i.q. falls in the genius range. Hair color has no bearing on intelligence.
Hair color has nothing to do with the intelligence of a human being.

∙ 12y agoI don't think many people do think blondes are dumb. It's just one of those generalisations based on the false assumption that facial characteristics determine how we think and act, which isn't true. Any sane thinking person will reject this idea and reject racist concepts too that seek to generalise also.

∙ 12y agoAs you can see blonds are called dumb not of hair colour but a lack of study
automatically blondes are naturally pretty so they spend most of their time shopping around for cosmetics, shoes clothes everything so if you are a blond and you are offended that's because you are naturally pretty.

∙ 13y agoHalf yes half no. You see, the stereo type 'dumb blonde' comes from this: When you are intelligent, you have more copper and zinc in your hair. Copper darkens the hair color, and since blondes are the lightest hair color... you see what I mean. But I am a blonde and I have straight A's. So it can go both ways.
