Sam...I'm a blonde. I take blonde jokes in the spirit I believe they're meant to be in...just good-natured kidding.

I hope I didn't offend you

AG, I wasn't referring to your joke in particular. I'm referring to the whole range of anti-white, anti-caucasian jokes:

i. the redneck/hillbilly jokes
ii. blonde jokes
iii. polack/polish jokes

Try telling a joke that involves ANY minority and see the kind of reaction it gets you.

I hear what you're saying, Sam. And I can't explain it...it's just a weird phenomenon that blonde jokes seem to be better tolerated in our society than a lot of other jokes targeting certain groups of people.

But again, I'm a blonde myself, and I find the jokes completely harmless. I certainly have never taken them personally.
