Clearly hair color doesn't make a person, so what is with all the jokes about it?

Bigotry and fascism, even when masked in humor.

Becuase people can be programmed and when you're raised in a society suggesting for example, that you are blonde and therefore should be dumb, you are more likely to live a life perpetuating that stereotype because it's what you've been programmed to be. And by doing this, you are then creating the same environment for the next person to be sucked in to. This applies to pretty much all major stereotypes.

For the same reasons black people are maligned. I see about a half dozen questions per day on Y!A that are thinly veiled racist.
This problem permeates all aspects of our society. The media, family and government encourage it so that some people (the sames ones) feel better about their own sad lives.
But they don't, the more they make others miserable the more they are miserable too. They have not learned that simple lesson yet.

They don't. To guys a blonde means fun and it means more, women start to dye their hair when they want to be loved; they go all sweet and all and guys adore that. Girls don't like blondes because blondes are beautiful and fun and everything that a boy wants; so girls get jealous and insecure. It was ladies who started the horrible jokes.

Marylin Monroe started the dumb blonde thing. But those jokes are stupid

i feel that should be cornered to people that mix sentiment in everything they do. people would always see you to be one way or the other in as much you are higher or lower than their expectations. but in anyways you only become better when you are been criticised

It's called a "stereotype".
