Why does US society value blond hair and blue eyes more than British society does?

[Livin]

Judge Reinhold is brown haired. And I did read somewhere that the English settlers were from the most Anglo-Saxon parts of England, which explains why someone who is of mostly English descent like Woody Harrelson looks overwhelmingly Germanic; rather like a Dane or a Dutchman.

Woody Harleson has scottish ancestry also and he raised presbyterian.He is not fully english.He might have some ancestry from dane,normal settlers.

False! Tell me one American celebrity who is a natural blonde.

Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Gwen Stefani are all bottle blondes and you can easily tell by looking at the roots of their hair. And what’s so wrong about liking blonde people. I’m a Muslim lady and think blonde men are irresistibly sexy.

But there's also handsome American men with dark hair who had loads of female admirers in the U.S. and in other nations too, such as gorgeous Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, James Dean, Johnny Depp, and Michael Jackson, for examples. David Copperfield, John Travolta, David Hasselhoff, David Charvet, and George Clooney are brunet too.

I think Elvis said that he dyed his hair even darker than his natural tone to attract more females.

Elvis was naturally blond. He dyed his hair dark brown/black, it is a well known fact. Also this pretty much destroys Tooting Carmen theory as Elvis was the biggest male sex symbol the USA has ever produced.





Just one short note, James Dean was not dark haired:

It's because White Americans on average are lighter and more blond as well light eyed.

Brits are far lighter than White Americans with no competition.

Proof?

Proof?

48% of Brits are blue-eyed, while only 16.6% of Americans are, which is 55.000.000 people.

White Americans are 62,6% of the population, 206.580.000 people. If we assume that all blue eyed Americans are white, that makes 26% of all White Americans blue-eyed (55.000.000/206.580.000*100).

5-6% of Americans (10,7-12.7% of White Americans) are blond, while 29% of Brits are.

I've seen that, but where was the study conducted? I highly doubt that whites from the South or Midwest would be darker eyed than the British.

Yeah I don't think what roles various actors get has anything to do with society favoring hair color or eye color.

What the media values does not equal what 'society' values. The media pushes race-mixed couples in every other advertisement these days.

you guys are locating a storm in that teacup post of mine..
