Julie - I didn’t quite mean to suggest that hair color isn’t a factor in people’s behavior toward each other. Just that it’s not a factor in who is admitted into Harvard. Does anyone care how many blonds went to Harvard or Yale last year? But, as female birds find the coloring of male birds attractive or unattractive, so people may do the same with each others’ hair color or style and other physical attributes, like height or shape or age — or the brands and colors of clothing they happen to wear.
