I just bust on you ging people cause it’s funny as hell.—————
My daughter (cheerleader blonde in the classic sense) dyed her hair brunette one semester at college. She would update me daily with how people were treating her with more respect, seeking her opinions on important issues, better grades, etc. Same bright girl, she was truly amazed at the difference, now back to her natural blonde, but she doesn’t suffer fools and relishes a good battle of the minds! Great conservative Christian girl!
These generation Y and Z kids are spunky and fiesty! And they will debate where millenials put their heads in the sand and Gen X just turn into crying NPCs.
MAGA!

Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank the Lord for President Trump, Flynn, and Q, and the Kavanaugh confirmation.
And FreeRepublic and JimRob.
Your daughter is correct on the difference in treatment. When my red hair turned more white I put blonde rinse on so it wouldn’t be so blah. Even at 50 years old people began talking down to me. I put up with it for several years until one of my red-headed granddaughters convinced me to dye it back red before her high school graduation. I’ve kept it red since, as close as I could get to the original color. It’s surprising what a little difference something like that can make.
In the years I spent covering white with blonde it caused me to think more about racial things in the world. While I definitely don’t subscribe to any premise that we should treat any person differently due to skin tone, it made me aware that some people, with no ill intentions, exhibit (possibly subconscious) different treatment to those of other races.
I’ve brought this up with a few people and gotten mixed reactions. Some think it’s my imagination and others have seen my point. Our family mostly appears white but there are those who have married people with a different skin tone. The simple thing of hair dye has made me more sensitive toward some of the prejudices that are legitimate.
