Wroclaw may not consider "dirty blonde" to be "blonde" but the people using the term "dirty blonde" which includes the word "blonde" in it obviously do, otherwise they'd say "light brown" or use another term that doesn't contain the word "blonde".
simple !
it stems from lack of vocabulary. mousy is a new word for many.
