I know more English people with ginger hair than Scots. Racial Stereotyping, just like appearance stereotyping, is a baaaad thing. Now off to eat haggis.

The only way in which red hair can die out is if people purposely avoid procreating with people that have red hair. Otherwise, the gene will carry on, even if it's just heterozygous (i.e. you carry the red hair gene, but don't have it yourself)

My friend Charlotte said she got called a duracell battery the other day, which she thought was quite creative.

I think red hair's great, and people who don't are just silly.

My friend has bright strawberry blonde hair, and she gets so many compliments - I don't think anyone has said anything bad about it.

People are stupid - but I absoultely love red heads. Completely adorable...at times I even dye my hair a bit auburn. Enjoy your uniqueness, because it rocks.

I think red hair is cool. In fact, one of the most well-known people at my school has red hair. Part of it may be because she's in theater, but whatever.

What's funny is that she grew dreadlocks for a few years, and I think in September she cut them off, and practically everyone knew about it when she came to school. The gross thing is that she kept them. xD

I know more Scottish people with red hair than English ones, my uni and my school are full of them, heh x) Most of the English guys at my uni are very light brown/blonde, oddness. Actually the most popular guys at my school were the ones with red hair. Of course having red hair is said to have many other benefits... *ahem*

As well as the fact that apparently those who have red hair feel certain kinds of pain less, doctors don't act on it but if they did a lot of red haired people apparently don't need as much anaesthetic to deal with the same amount of pain as other people (for some things, child birth is one of them apparently).

In Sixty years time we will already have mapped the human genome, isolated the gene responsible for red hair, and custom ordered our babies to exact specifications.

Smooth move trick-tickler, but redheads need MORE anaesthetic - Yet another notch on the board against the gingers!

There are studies that (dis)prove both sides of that, so I guess it is rather disputed for now. However I did make one error, it isn't all redheads that feel pain less, it is red haired females only that can require less pain killers, especially during child birth.

Red hair rocks! I used to have red hair and I received many compliments. Way more than when I was blonde

Red haired people are meant to be so much more fiery and passionate - definitely good things

If you were to beleive the "Red Heads are dying out", they'd only be dying out at the same rate as blue & green eyed people aswell as blondes.

I'm not testing that theory, that's for sure.



The only "fiery and passionate" redheads I've known are actually blondes who've dyed their hair. ^_-

LOL, coppertop.. thats pretty cute. And I of course mean that in no insulting way I've just never heard someone insult another person by comparing them to a battery before.

This is no worse then anything stereotypical about blondes. And since I am blonde (albeit dark blonde) it's something i've come to terms with.
People are stupid about their stereotypes sometimes, and this is just another example of why.

They've all started dying their hair plaid.

This has to be the strangest thing I've heard of in a WHILE. I've never, in my whole life, heard of people being teased for having red hair. It didn't even occur to me that you'd want to tease someone about it.

And as for the whole "I Hate Redheads" site, I've seen plenty of anti-brunette sites, anti-every-race-imaginable sites, and anti-outie belly button sites (go figure). People are strange.
