In an article about prejudging people by age, we have comments prejudging people by gender and hair color.

My wife (blonde) frequently gets talked down to by people who make assumptions about her intelligence.

Yea, maybe you are right. I was not writing about her intelligence... but I wrote 'blonde'. On the other hand, I would no write about the color of her skin the same way, and I'm not sure why.

Unfortunately, I cannot edit my first comment.
