Whats with all the obsession about being BLONDE in the west??

1-was just wondering if it is something that most of you guys really prefer when it comes to the feminine beauty? or is it just another hyped-up thing by your fashion industry because its (almost) only a caucasian/european trait (as most of the asian/middle-eastern (and the rest of the world)is hardly blond??

2-i knw it would sound crazy but for some odd reason (and when i only have the option of judging people by their looks) i end up taking blonds lightly and give more importance to dark haired peeps instead (in my head), now i don't know whether its because i live in a society where only "dolls" are blonds or i have this pre-conceived notion that a "typical" human being is always dark haired (you know the way they mostly show in drawings etc etc)

e.g i always end up giving more respect to a character like pacino over Philip Seymour Hoffman or a george clooney over brad unless & untill i have seen the blond guys like hoffman and brad perform the way they do !!

so i was wondering if i am the only "hairy racist" here or any of those who live in "multi-haired";) society have the some weird tendencies?

cheers
