Being confident in who you are

Conformity doesn't stop at hair color either. It could also happen to people of different cultures.

Pitt's wife, Jennifer Aniston is Greek. Her real last name was Anastassakis, but she changed it when she got into acting. She shouldn't have felt like she needed to do that.

People should embrace their different cultures as much as they embrace being American. One of the great things about being an American is you can be one, while also being of a different ethnicity.

Whether a person is blonde or a brunette of any culture, people should be happy about who they really are. It's fine for people to dye hair and even bleach it. But the bottle blonde shouldn't be a sign of sheer beauty anymore; diversity is.

Pride in who a person is, no matter what color, shape or name they have should be considered beautiful. It sounds cheesy, but it's true.

If everyone became blonde, maybe darker hair would become the new desired look. It's hard to tell. It's also hard to tell how blondes became so ideal.

I can't judge if blonde is more beautiful, but I can sit in a movie theater and roll my eyes at Pitt.
