I do believe that this clip of the "ditsy" pageant contestant is a decent representation of a large percentage of American teens. It is obvious that this particular girl had little education; She must have paid more attention to boys than books in high school. It is a stereotype to say that all blonds in the U.S. are ditsy like this but it is true that a large percentage of "beautiful girls" are the ones that are educated the least. If someone were to see these video a hundred years from now, they would surely think that the American race was uneducated.
However, I would not consider this a cultural artifact because most Americans are educated and this particular video would make one think otherwise. As teens, we in America definately have alot to learn but we are not dumb. If anything, the youth of today are smarter than ever. More kids are going to college with the incentive to learn and break free of ignorant stereotypes.
