I am blonde with blue eyes.
Blonde is the 2nd most uncommon hair in the world next to red heads.
About 8% of the world population has blue eyes, about 2% of the population has green.
Therefore: I am a VISIBLE minority. Legit.
But that dosent fly with the government for some reason. Whats up with that?
...I want free university darnit!
