Agreed. Many of these studies don’t seem to take into account those of different races who may not be naturally brunette or blond.

Since the study was referring to brunettes in general, I don’t think that pointing out a few successful blondes is a sound way to refute it. The point is that if you’re the type of person who’s going to dye her hair blonde, you’re probably also the type of person who relies more on her looks to snag a husband (this doesn’t apply to everyone, obviously, but in general if you’re dying your hair, there’s a reason for it). Plus, people tend to perceive blondes as being more superficial and less competent than brunettes, so there may be unconscious bias that leads them to be promoted less frequently.

I’m naturally blonde, and I really wouldn’t agree with this study.

And what about non-white people? Were they even included in this “study”?

I think that blondes do have more fun, are funny and are “less clever” than brunettes!
I am a blonde myself but im not trying to be vain!
