First of all, I know you were only joking, so take this as off topic.

In truth it's the same with this as it's with almost all stereotypes - there are a lot of blond people in the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland), but it's not as big of a division as is often thought.

The difference is not as much with the hair pigmentation than it's with the skin pigmentation, which is a direct effect of evolution and sun exposure (or lack of). My understanding is that the more paler skin pigmentation allows us Scandinavians to absorb more vitamin D from the minimal sunlight we get at our geographic location than a darker pigmentation would.

Nevertheless, I've always been partial to brunettes myself, but my girlfriend of over 7 years is as blond as they get, so go figure?
