Yeah! And I know lots of Middle Eastern and *gasp* Mexican people can have naturally blond hair as well, as well as people whose heritage is mostly Native American. it's not uncommon with Berber people either, and check out these Oceanian kids!

LKH really has no idea what racism is like and how POC have to deal with it.
She really, really doesn't. I mean, I'm a white suburban middle-class kid myself so it's not like I have much better an idea, but given how she also has no idea what homophobia is like and how LGBT folks deal with it (which I do have experience with) I can guess that her handling is just as bad, even if I may not be able to see it as well. And yeah, it is VERY insulting.
