[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has blue eyes & blonde hair and only POC have commented on this.  I have always just assumed this is because her look is more novel to them.  In my family, and where I grew up, being blonde, especially as a child, is pretty typical, so no one cares or maybe even notices?

The comments have always come from woman who say something pleasant to her or to me about her looks.  [/quote]

I also have a blue-eyed blond. We used to live in a majority Black neighborhood and now we live in a majority Dominican neighborhood. My daughter gets a lot of compliments from older ladies, which comes from a kind and friendly place, but I cringe when someone is going on about my child's eyes and hair, she looks like a little angel (she's a hellion), she looks like Elsa, while their own grandchild is standing right there.[/quote]

We have four kids. The older three have dark hair, super dark eyes, and a perpetual sun kissed dark tan complexion. Our youngest has blues eyes and blonde hair, and he frequently draws looks and compliments—especially when we travel to Spanish speaking countries or the Caribbean.[b] It’s the novelty of looking different. That’s all.[/b] [/quote]
I think this is the crux of it. Statistically blonds are rarer than any other hair color. Blue eyes tend to go with those genes. [/quote]
