I hate the phrase 'All-American'

Like when someone says, "Oh she was an all-American girl". 🙄 Because 9 times out of 10, they're talking about a blonde haired blue eyed tanned girl with very basic personality and interests. Please tell me how *that* became the definition of "All-American", especially when blonde and blue eyed isn't even native to the Americas. 🤦🏻‍♀️

It just that generalism, sweetie....Hitler, I do believe, wanted just blonde, blue eyed people/race...and tall too...

Ironic with him being small and dark haired....let alone the whole of Jewish origin thing!

They say the same thing over here in the UK...

It isn't even ignorance.....just a cliché thing..

Rightwingers have always had massive hypocrisy problems, as you can see

@Elessar Indeed. But, I guess with the Scandinavian countries as well as the US and the UK, it's seen as 'The Standard'....which makes me feel it's a generalisation.

Which makes me feel that it's not some insidious, crazy thing.....but just some 'lack-of-knowledge' thing from the general public (or, as I call some people, '..the great unwashed..' 🤣)

Some people just say what the masses say...and some of us look behind these words and find what's true...

@CassandraSissy Snow white was dark haired right? Guess sleeping beauty was the blonde.
