Some red haired girls are gorgeous, you just wouldn't want to have kids with them in case

I want two children- one with an afro and one with ginger hair. If I had a third child he'd have to have a ginger afro.

My theory is that red hair is traditionally associated with being Jewish, hence the occasional instinct to point and laugh and commit genocide and stuff. Read back through 1000 years of literature and you'll see the same.

She's only ginger if she's ugly. She's a redhead if she's hot.

just wondering why do people jeer and make fun of people with this colour hair so much? i mean the stuff that is said to them is really hurtful sometimes and makes people feel so ugly the want to dye it. not all gingers are ugly even, the best looking girl in my year has auburn/brownish hair like. i have brown hair but i'm just wondering if people feel bad about jeering someone for being overweight, having bad skin or other appearance issues why do they say hurtful things about gingers so much?
is laughing and making someone feel bad about their appearance not only a form of bullying but just a sign of immaturity? I'm 18 and i've heard girls say "I don't like her." "why" "because her hair is so ginger."

Its down to an anti-Irish attitude that has been taken up here by the young people who lap up everying British and American. They hate it because its a Celtic trait.

Having said that it was always just to satisfy my curiosity and answer the age old question - "does the rug match the curtains?"

It's 50/50 odds! Some do, some don't...

Terrible tempers. And they love credit card spending. More than any other colour.

I have dark red / auburn hair and really, getting teased was something that ended way back in primary school. By the time everyone's matured enough, they start to realise that bottle blondes are a dime a dozen, and that most red head chicks do in fact live up to their kinky reputation

I was dreading the day this topic would make it to AH.

I have always had a thing for redheads/ gingers.

4 pages and not one of you knows the actual answer?

It's because Judas Iscariot was supposedly a redhead.

I saw a ginger friend of mine today. He's after getting all fat and he was walking back from the shops the fat bastard all jiggly like.

I instantly felt an unbridled hatred towards him.

is this him?

Ginger Fat Bastard

but all joking aside, My oldest brother and my sister are ginger too it comes from my dad's side of the family though he had black hair before it went grey.... thankfully I inherited my mother's dark brown hair.

I love red hair, I really think it's hot. Irish red anyway, not that mental Spanish red.

It's unique and cool and funky IMO.

Redheads > Peroxide Blonde Oompah-Loompahs

I'm a redhead, and get the whole no soul thing thrown at me, by friends, jokingly. It doesn't bother me in the slightest, in my opinion if you can't laugh at yourself or take the piss out of yourself you're an uptight cnut.

Hairdressers always tell me how gorgeous mine is anyway

Same here Gunslinger, When I was a kid it really used to bug me but its all a bitta fun in my opinion but there are people who can take it too far sometimes. Havent taken it personally in years... Although I will say, went travelling in Thailand last year and went trekking with a guide to this village in the middle of no where... They had never seen a redhead in there lives and actually asked the guide if I was the devil hahahahaha!... Got a great laugh outta that, was waiting for them to pull out the big cooking pot.:D:D

I think they look really stupid when they wear too much fake tan. Like that Joe Swash oompa loompa off Eastenders and I'm a Celebrity...

Mr. Presentable · 20-01-2012 01:16PM

Insecurity
Ignorance
and a slavish following of the English tabloid press

Apparently that guy even had a hair transplant. You'd have thought he'd be glad it was falling out.
