I unwittingly participated in an experiment: for many years I brought teddy bears to a hospital once a week, and placed five or six of them at a time on the donation table for wounded soldiers to select for themselves, their wives or kids. I brought bears that reflected typical human hair colors: white, ivory, beige, "ginger", tan, brown and black. I noticed that white people sometimes chose brown or black bears and African-Americans sometimes chose white or ivory bears; but almost every week, the "gingers" were the last bears chosen.
I have always been shocked by the attacks that go on towards red-headed children in GB. And it’s apparently spread to America! It’s odd to me because I think red hair is absolutely beautiful. In today’s crazed world, Maureen O’Hara would be a wallflower!
From what I have seen, and I have visited, Britain makes America’s bullying look like a cub scout meeting a grover’s corner. It is a miserable place to be a child.
Not sure who has it worse. The lone 3 white kids at most London schools who are spat upon and maliciously taunted.
Or the kids on the streets of Bucharest who spend their days huffing paint from foil bags.
