Another point to consider is that both the actress Lea Michele and her character are Jewish. (As for the blonde, 'Agron' sounds Israeli, but don't hold me to that.)

Given that Hollywood has, historically, desexualized Jewish women in ways it does not do with Gentile women, this is arguably a step forward. Jewish men in the US intermarry in epidemic proportion largely because they don't think Jewish women are 'hot', due to Hollywood media messaging, so any propaganda to the contrary is the silver lining in the cloud.
