| MadSci Network: Other |
Of course, blondes are not dumb, or at least no moreso than any other person. It is a stereotype, which is a trait that is unfairly applied to a large group of people simply because a few individuals in that group have that trait. Most races and social groups have some sort of stereotype associated with them. For example, when I was young, back before there was printed paper, people thought that children with red hair were all bullies. Of course, perhaps some of them were, but surely not all of them were.
