Oulialia, or how not to dispel preconceived ideas

I have absolutely no idea what is going on here. But according to the BBC it’s about liberating Lithuanian blonde girls from the prejudices of others.

A Lithuanian company plans to set up a holiday island in the Maldives run entirely by blondes - the latest project in a growing blonde movement in the Baltics. But how legitimate is this latest sign of Baltic blonde ambition?

What do you call a blonde who runs a business? A dab hand at marketing, if she comes from Lithuania.

Blondes in the Baltics have had enough of the jokes about being dumb. Now they want to show they are smarter than the gags make out, with a growing blonde business empire.

But they succeeded only in making me more “prejudiced” than ever.

Blondes need not wear gobs of eye shadow. It looks cheap and detracts from their natural beauty.

Not to mention horny.

Well done, blondes. You sure showed the media for sexually objectifying you!

Make the most of it, four generations, five at most, and there will be no blondes left in Sweden. Seven, possibly eight, and there will be on whites left in America.

And the scum who call us “racists” think this is a great idea.

I draw the court’s attention to Exhibit-A:

Where Did “Blondes Are Stupid” Come From?

The current blonde stereotype began in the USA in the early 20th century. It was a product of ethnic contact between the older-stock American population and darker-haired immigrants (Italians, Jews, Greeks, etc.) [...]

[Blonde negative stereotyping] entered the mainstream culture primarily via Jewish immigrants and specifically through their contributions to art and literature. It is a common theme in Jewish-American novels:

The exotic female in Jewish life is the sexy shiksa, frequently a blue-eyed blonde who offers gratifications withheld, at least until marriage, by proper Jewish girls. […] A blend of arrogance and defensiveness prompts many Jews to claim that shiksas are more carnal and promiscuous than women of their own faith because Christians are less intelligent, refined, and clean than themselves. Goyishe Kopf (literally translated as gentile head), the Yiddish colloquialism for stupidity, exemplifies the traditional contempt for Christians. (Jaher, 1983)

This theme entered popular American culture through fiction, motion pictures, and comedy routines, with well-known examples including the novel Portnoy’s Complaint by Philip Roth and the typecasting of Marilyn Monroe in vamp roles (Jaher, 1983).

The ‘dumb blonde’ stereotype gradually spread outside the USA. As a rural Ontario teenager in the 1970s, I heard this term on American sitcoms, but it had no connection to my reality. Nor were the blondes at my school thought to be sexually permissive. In the late 1980s, as a doctoral student in Quebec City, I remember the puzzlement that initially greeted blonde jokes, this humor having no relation to existing beliefs about hair color in French Canada. Today, blondes are routinely stereotyped throughout Canada as being sluttish and stupid, as if they have always been so.

This stereotype likewise came late to Europe. As late as the mid-1960s, Bastide noted the following about the movie industry: “In Europe, a blond is usually the heroine, and a brunette the dangerous woman. In Brazil, the dark woman is loving and faithful, while the blond is the vamp who leads a man to ruin.””

Case closed.

Some of these comments people are saying here on this issue really seem to make me look at this in a whole new way. I do enjoy the responses though.
