We've all heard the jokes so save it.

"Why can't a blonde dial 911? She can't find the eleven."

I said save it!

Many blondes have risen above silly stereotypes like the actor in that rugby movie.

There's a grown man with bright blonde hair.

And let's not forget about Anne Heche who had the misfortune of being bossed around by Ellen for a while. And let's not forget Ellen Degeneres by the way too.

But the question is why are there so many blondes in Utah.

You can't go in and out of Costco without thinking you went to Stockholm for awhile.

Why are there so many blondes in Utah

"In the telephone directories, Utah looks decidedly Anglo-Scandinavian. History and the statistics confirm the impression. Utah’s Scandinavians and their descendants, as with most of the state’s other immigrants from northern Europe, are largely the fruit of over a century of Mormon proselyting abroad."

So basically, a large percentage of Mormon pioneers were Scandinavian. Blondies.

This makes sense to me. I think another element is the artificial blondes that probably skew the numbers but still.

Apparently, the early Mormon missionaries had a lot of success in the blonde countries.

"During the second half of the nineteenth century, when Mormonism preached its doctrine of the “gathering” with vigor and conducted a program of organized migration to Zion, some thirty thousand converts from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden felt persuaded that the valleys of Deseret were Kingdom Come and set out for a frontier far beyond the broader acres their countrymen were homesteading in Minnesota and Wisconsin and well ahead of the Scandinavian invasion of Nebraska and the Dakotas." (LINK TO FULL ARTICLE)
