Why is it so rare to see blonde haired men in America?

Brock Lesnar is the only famous American that I know with the blond tone similar to those in the photo.

Are you O.K.? You forgot Chuck Norris?

Pennsylvania and Utah are predominantly German states, red hair is only common in predominantly English and Irish states.

No, Utah is the most "Anglo-Saxon" state in the U.S.!

Most Anglo-Saxon states in the U.S. by percentage:
Utah
Maine
Vermont
Idaho
New Hampshire
Wyoming
Oregon
Montana
Delaware
Colorado

The color of Chuck Norris's hair is brown, I do not know where you invented that he is blond.

As a whole, those are Northern European populations! In the U.S., there is much greater diversity. The blondest state, I personally saw in the U.S. are Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Vermont, New Hampshire, Main, Florida. The most common hair colour of White Americans of Northern, Central and Eastern European descent ( British, German, Polish and Russian) is medium to light brown in shade.

The point is that in almost no US state predominates the blond hair, something that happens in the north of Europe.

Prob depends which state you live kinda like Europe is depending on what country you live in. I'd imagine Utah has many blonde men as the population there is mostly of English and German descent. When I lived in England most of the English men I encountered were fair and blonde

Lol at comparing European countries to American states. Europe's overall population is more than twice that of America's. The most populous state, California, has less people than Spain.

It isn't, you're just looking in the wrong places

I suppose it's up to your definition of "blonde." I understand the thread question enough to answer that, indeed, blonde hair among men is perhaps NOT a common sight to an "observer of America." However, blonde seems very desireable in America among women, based on how many artificially "lighten" their hair color. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe blonde hair is a recessive trait, and women are more likely to have it than men.
The spectrum:
Denmark blonde= "white blonde" very rare, yet still possible to find in America among the descendants of the Northwest European population contribution, not to mention the large number of Germans/Scandos who settled in America over the past 200 years. Rare and not common, but present.
Anglo-Keltic blonde-ish = characterized by light colored hair, often brown and reddish. This is all over the US due to the huge Scotch/Anglo contribution to the American population. (Black hair and red hair are sometimes not uncommon in these populations, too, of course)

There are small communities all over America who will retain their northern european heritage for a long time to come.

I look at it more from a genetic point of view. It's a recessive gene that can spring up now and again even if 2 people are not blond. So as long as the gene pool of those small towns is not diluted too much, they won't change much.

New York is a different story. The blond gene pool there has probably gone over a tipping point of no return. Eventually they'll all be mixed and bringing to no place but NY itself. Places like NY are overrepresented on American tv too and middle america probably underrepresented.

Either I'm not paying attention or I've seen very few in the last few years. Perhaps there's just not a lot of true blondes here.

Really? I saw blond - haired males and females in America, when I was studying there. So I don't know what you are talking about. It also depends where you are in America. You know it is a very big country and very diverse.

I guess blondes are more common among Whites in the US than true Mediterranean types.
