But let me ask you: these German-Brazilians colonos think that dark hair is a lower class feature compared to blonde, or they don't think about these things at all?
2: True. Dark hair alone is seen as neutral, not as positive/idealized as blonde people, neither as negative. To me, it's only seen as positive when it's mixed with blue eyes and fair skin, which gives a beautiful contrast.
3: Yeah. And even if not literal, Brazilians tend to associate rich people with blonde hair and blue eyes, not because most rich Brazilians have it, not at all, but simply because in the higher classes, for being whiter, this trait, even if not the majority among them, will be more spread than in the masses.
