IS NOT OKAY 

"While only 2 percent of the world’s population and 5 percent of white people in the U.S. have blond hair, '35 percent of female U.S. senators and 48 percent of female CEOs at S&P 500 companies are blond.' Some of this is because white people take up a disproportionate amount of space in the highest ranks of business and politics, and white people are more likely to be blond. But even taking that into consideration, there’s something else at work. After all, blond men make up 'just over 2 percent of male Fortune 500 CEOs,' close to the national average, even though white men are very overrepresented in leadership positions."
