Why do people judge people based on their looks?

Question

Like with blondes, a lot of people say blondes are stupid, and stuff like that. And I know some people that will avoid people that aren't as pretty as them.

Why do people do this?

Answer 1

because they have eyes.

Answer 2

I  think it all comes down to peoples personal preference. There was a study done that showed that peple are attracted to people that look like themselves or their parents.

Answer 3

because they can.

Answer 4

its because a lot of people out there are ignorant.

theyd rather stereotype people into different groups than to actually get know them.

society doesnt help with the situation either because they make it much more exceptable to judge people based on superficial qualities than the content of another persons character.

if people could take the time theyed probably relize that most people do not fit the stereotype they are thought to potray
