I am Asian, but why do I dye my hair blonde? Actually my hair is brown, but I do dye my hair a lighter color. All I can say is that if Asian girls dyed their hair blonde, it is not because she wants to look or act “Caucasian”. The answer is obviously because Asian girls had been inspired by the old European beauty. Even some Caucasian women, who were originally born brunette or red head, dye their hair blonde, but particularly the Asian race get picked on most when going to blonde or a lighter color.
If an African American person had blonde hair, no one asked why she wants to look Caucasian, and if a Mexican streak her hair blonde, it just looks cool because she's sexy Chica, but if an Asian girl dyes her hair blonde, people would ask why she wants to look “white”? That’s because most people are very ethnocentric about their own culture.
Take Japanese and Korean icons for example, who had been dying their hair blonde even back in the 80s. This is why the 21st century judge Asian with blonde hair. All of a sudden if you have "white mom" and "Asian dad" and you're hair turns black, but you want it blonde, then you're not suppose to because of your dad?? That's offensive to her pride, what if she wants to look like her mom? We all come from a different background and if you’re hair is black and you want to add blue streaks, go for it!! I ENCOURAGE YOU to go for any color you wish for ( go Gray if you want).
It might sound weird to say that only rich and popular people should go blonde like Pamela Anderson or Tila Tequila, and cruelly judge that they're are dumb or "stupid", but there are many Asian idols who inspired the "White", "black", "Gold", and "Brown" people, like Japanese idol: Ayumi Hamasaki.
By the way, I'm not picking on the "Caucasions", or also to "Asians" who ever thought this way. This is just my view on why no one own one or another color, they don’t define who owns blonde, red, pink, or green. Life in America, is where we choose our own politics and parties, meaning our own will, our own LIVES. (Which certainly puts a bound to those who care to think twice of an Asian going “white”). And with so many freedom, speeches, and expressions, all I can say is if you get out into the world more, you’ll find many lovely people in BLONDE especially in Asian girls.
