Could help explain a few trends in American history

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

This reminds me of the Lexicon of Commonplaces by Flaubert, a 
posthumously published side-project to /Bouvard et Pécuchet, /where it 
says about women:

Blond women --- hotter than brunette women.

...

Brunette women --- hotter than blond women.

...

Dark-skinned women --- see 'Blond women,' 'Brunette women.'

...

Red-haired women --- see 'Blond women,' 'Brunette women,' 'Dark-skinned 
women.'
