I alerted on this post three times and it has yet to be deleted. There is no question that it is a bigoted insult against all women who bleach their hair as well as being misogynist as such blonde or bleached blonde insults are always used against women. I had alerted on a similar post in the thread that also made such a comment yet that one was deleted immediately and was not anywhere near as blatantly insulting as this one is.

DU finally figured out that making insulting remarks about someone's weight or other physical characteristics was bigoted and insensitive, so why are such remarks about blonde or bleached blonde women being stupid still considered fair game?

1. We try very hard to be sensitive here.
But I think there might be times when letting people talk it out is a better answer than having me delete the post.
