How blond are white Americans?

[Cristiano viejo]

Indeed, Spain is around 17% light-haired, not blonde. (This includes light brown, which like elsewhere is far more common than proper blonde). And 20-30% blonde for White Americans is what I'd estimate.

No way. All light haired people combined (light and dark blonde + light brown) must be around 30%.

Blondism among white Americans is probably at Central European levels, I guess.
But it also depends on the region. People in the Midwest are probably very blond. In the Northeast, not so much.

I lived in the US most of my life, and I'll say they are definitely not as blond as portrayed in the media.
