White women not the only peeps with straight hair
asians and latino women have straight hair too.
shareYeah, and they mention that in the film. They're actually going to India to get their hair.

I think only caucasians have wavy straight hair; there's a little more "life" to it than asian hair, especially in hair that is only a little wavy, and not stiff-wavy.
There are also variations in color in caucasian hair.
This all gives caucasian hair an edge, although India hair is the commodity, for logistical reasons, apparently.
Most Indians have wavy hair, and plenty of Koreans have curly and wavy hair I've noticed.

Only ignorant people have this mindset that most white women have that Scandinavian Barbie look but that's furthest from the truth. Mixed-race and few Black people have naturally straight hair, or at least almost straight hair.
Clean up this MESS!
Only ignorant people have this mindset that most white women have that Scandinavian Barbie look ...
I didn't think that anyone actually believed that most white women have "that Scandinavian Barbie look". I don't think that's what anyone is arguing. In fact one very rarely even sees "that Scandinavian Barbie look" these days.
Some people say that blondness is a declining trait headed for extinction. In addition, most blondes we see may be fake, and blue-eyed blondes are much rarer than brown-eyed blondes. Actual Barbie types are very rare nowadays. share
They're rare in America.
People in Sweden, those kinds of places do have many natural blondes and I used to think blue eyes were pretty rare (I guess growing up in America the dominant brown eyes just comes through more), but when you go to certain parts of Europe, like England for instance, I've noticed they have tons of blue eyed people. It's strange from an American perspective to see so many blue/green eyed people because I'm used to brown eyed people being the majority. But then again Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, and Ireland, they weren't the melting pot (until recently) we were so I guess they retained a lot of their dominant features (light, pale skin, light hair, blue/green eyes), which is genetically more dominant in that part of the world (evolution made them whiter because of where they live in the world). Dark hair may always be the majority, but I don't think, especially in that part of the world, that blonde hair and light eyes will ever be extinct.
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all
I think you're using the the term "dominant gene" to mean "pre-dominant" relative to that population. The term "dominant gene" refers to a gene which is not "recessive" in the mother-father gene pair with respect to actual trait expression (such as blue eyes). Blue-eye genes and blonde-hair genes are recessive, not dominant.
Also, thankfully, there are still blondes in Scandinavia, Northern Europe and Eurasia. But I think they're declining there also. I get that impression from older movies and photos.
In the US, blonde hair and blue eyes seem to me to be way down from decades ago. I rarely see blue "dirty-blonde" (light brown hair). Not only do I perceive the difference from memory, but I see it in old movies and photos.
Where do you people live? In a cave somewhere? I know TONS of natural blond with blue eyed girls. They are not "rare" by any means.

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color#Blue
"A 2002 study found that the prevalence of blue eye color among Caucasians in the United States to be 33.8 percent for those born from 1936 through 1951 compared with 57.4 percent for those born from 1899 through 1905.[10] Blue eyes have become increasingly rare among American children, with only one out of every six or 16.6%, which is 49.8 million out of 300 million (22.4% of white Americans) of the total United States population having blue eyes.[33][34] The plunge in the past few decades has taken place at a remarkable rate."
You may know as many as you claim, and it may seem like a sizable number, but it's a remarkable decline, which some of us have noticed over the longer time period we've been around. share
Apparently, they'll be near extinct in 200 years. Funnily enough, it's the Brunettes who're dying their hair and fooling men that they're Blonde, which is causing the gene to not be passed on more.
shareEast and South Asians as well as Native Americans have straighter hair than whites, true. But, black Americans are obsessed with whites, so whites will always be their first choice for everything--comparisons, attacks, etc.
