Are Blonde Jokes Offensive
Started By
I beleive they can be affensive towards blondes because it singles them out. But some blondes just laugh at them what do you think ?

I'm a dirty blond(it's getting lighter as I get older.. weird.) and I find them hilarious. I think, like it's already been said, that it depends on the blond in question. As well as who is telling the joke. :)

Lol I'm a natural Blonde (not dirty, still very light.) and honestly I love telling blonde jokes. Hearing them is hilarious, I don't find offense in it at all.<br /><br />If people are offended (I think so don't jump down my throat) that they need to take a breather and realize it wasn't meant to hurt.

i'm all for any jokes as long as they're not meant seriously. i'm all for racist, blonde, sexist, or any stereotypical jokes as long as they're meant in good humor.

No more or less than any other "stereotype" joke. There's irish jokes, priest jokes, rabbi jokes, black jokes, gay jokes, so on and so on.<br /><br />They're only offensive when they're meant offensively. Personally you ought to learn to laugh at yourself and as long as someone means it purely as a fun joke, who cares? I'm sure there's a joke about their hair color/ethnicity/culture/whatever you can shoot right back at them.

I don't think so, but one of my friends who is a blond is annoyed by them, so it is probably a matter of perception. If people make blond jokes because you are blond it must be bad.

I laugh, on the inside, at people who are TRYING to be offensive. Personally getting mad or offended at stupid people is a waste of energy that those people are not worth.

I'm a blond, and I don't find them offensive at all unless the person is TRYING to be offensive. I actually think that some blond jokes are hilarious.

Depends how you say it and if you keep throwing them out one after another to a blond. I think it's all fun and games if it's the typical dumb sounding blond joke, but if it gets severe then I say yeah, it's offensive. <br /><br /> I'm Native American and heard one ugly, very insulting joke about my race which put me in a horrible mood. It really depends how much you want to yank on their hair.

I agree with Tiger. I tell blonde jokes all the time. I technically am blonde. (A very dark blonde, mind you, but blonde none the less.) Blonde jokes don't offend me unless the person telling them thinks all blondes actually are idiots. Same with all other jokes.

Yes, it is very offensive. Last time I checked, you can't look at someone's head and automatically know how smart they are.

I'm what some people refer to as a "dish water blonde". My mom and brother were toe heads(super light blonde) when younger.<br />We all say,"Blonde is a state of mind not a hair color". I refer to people of all hair colors as having blonde moments.<br /><br />Personally, offense to me depends on who tells the joke and how. This includes jokes of all types.

Lol... afensive. XD<br /><br />I don't find blonde jokes even remotely offensive.<br />Maybe they're only offensive to blondes with incredibly low self-confidence when it comes to matters of their own intelligence.

Maybe they laugh because they don't know its a blonde joke?.<br />No, only joking. I think it can come across affensive but if blonds dont mind them being told then it's ok.
