Blonde jokes
Blonde jokes to be banned
While it's difficult to say that I understand their frustration, I do understand the frustration of discrimination to some extent. I mean, don't most of us, at one time or another? There isn't a way to eradicate bias, but people will do well to control themselves and understand that thinking ill of someone because of something as superficial as their skin or hair colour is something more to be ashamed, than be proud of.
The fact that the article is placed under the "Quirkies" category tells it all. Yes, I feel that it is a valid claim. No, I don't think it's going to help. How one will ban blonde jokes, I know not. But I do know that it will take more than that to cure bigotry.
