So this blonde walked into a bar....
I don’t want to say that I have always been stereotyped growing up through life but I think I have. The world has a certain view on girls that they are not as good or less then guys. This is completely false. So by just being a girl I am stereotyped, but that is not the only one I have. I have also grown up and still have blonde hair. I swear I have heard every blonde joke that is out there and honestly I think they are all funny. For the people that cannot laugh at themselves have so problems with their self esteems. So what if people make fun of me because I have blonde hair and I am “supposed” to be stupid. Yea I have my “blonde moments” but who hasn’t? Laughing at the entire thing makes everything so much easier on myself. Even though my stereotype is funny and silly some are not. Some stereotypes just don’t need to be there at all. Stereotyping someone only because of their race before you even know them is just stupid. Get to know the person first before you say anything, then you can say that if they are dumb or whatever, they are because of something different then their race. We all have differences, and some people have ones they don’t want pointed out. People just need to go back to the old saying “do onto others as you would want to be treated,’ then no one would ever have this problem

I do not have blond hair, but I am not into the blond jokes. I feel like the guys at my school who would make them would try to pass it off as a joke (when they actually felt that there may have been a grain of truth to the stereotype). Worse yet is when smart girls act dumb, to live up to a stereotype. It’s weird. The “guys are smarter than girls” thing is outdated. I feel like in high school in general girls were always more motivated than boys scholastically. College is nice in that everyone has goals for themselves and in general they aren’t afraid to work, aren’t ashamed of being smart.
