There isn’t anything wrong with it but England has a problem with gingers being horribly bullied (it’s catching on here). I don’t understand it because I adore natural red hair.

It’s not just in Britain, in Greece red hair is considered evil.

The current theory is that this is a very old European prejudice dating to when most folks sporting ginger locks were Neanderthals, since the Neanderthal genome seems to code for red hair.

When I was a kid, bullying was reserved only for redheads unfortunate enough to be named Rusty.

The Scots and Irish have an abundance of red heads. Maybe that is why.

I’m a natural red-head(well on the sides and the back, the stuff on the top fell out ages ago), and anyone who wants to bully me for it can say hello to my friends Smith, and Wesson.
