Natural Redheads To Become Extinct? - Comments

For everyone saying "Why would someone bully someone because of their hair?" you need to come to my school, haha.
Gingers are bullied constantly. I think it might be because of the stereotype of gingers having fiery tempers, or something.
I don't see why though, ginger's an amazing colour o: I dyed my hair ginger, it looked sexy ;)

Seriously, if ginger becomes extinct, I'll cry. I love it too much.

Why would people make fun of some one for their hair color? I really thought we've grown out if that phase.

I don't think red heads could ever go extinct. The only way to really shut it out of blood systems and genes would to be to kill everyone, right now, that had that gene in them, even if it doesn't show.

I don't think the world needs another genocide. =)

Nice article by the way.

This was really, really well written.
And it was an interesting subject, and so I give you my bravo.

So Travis was right.

huh. never heard that before. my cousin has the brightest, natural red hair i've EVER seen. idk how she got it, wish i did.

cool article! hahaha. ginger?

Okay, gingerism? Wtf is that? My friend has red hair, and we joke around, but no one bullies him about it. Seriously, people can honestly be so stupid sometimes. :/ EVERYONE gets bullied about their hair, their clothes, etc. Not just because they're redheads. Sheesh.

Both of my parents are brunette.
Both me and my brother are redheads.
And by redheads, I mean seriously vibrant red hair.
I don't want to go extinct!

Seriously, the term 'ginger' doesn't bother me, if it's just a little joke. What bugs me is when people I don't know or don't particularly like use it as an insult. [i]That[/i] is obnoxious and rude. But, wouldn't that be true of any name people think of?

Nifty article. I saw the title and had to comment. :)

I've known about this for a while.
Its sad.
Aw, I like gingers.
DON'T DIE OUT! D:

Why would people bully for the color hair that you have? -.- I think people are smart enough to pick a better reason.

I knew this for about two years. I'm glad someone spoke out FINALLY! I love natural redheads, though. Especially Rupert and *inserts Ginny's real name*

[i]Gingerism?[/i] -giggles- I don't think that's an actual prejudice where I live. To us, "ginger" is just a harmless teasing name. No one really gets offended.

AHHH!! Im a natural redhead!

Wow, "ginger" isn't THAT harsh over here. In England, a fair number of people just say "ginger" instead of "redhead". It's one of the few names I've been called that doesn't bother me :-P

[i]Furthermore, they are highly likely to become victims of gingerism, a prejudice against red hair that can often lead to bullying in schools.[/i]

*giggle*

It's a form of prejudice, just like homophobia or racism. "Being black has its side effects, as you may be picked on by racist assholes during school..." Waiting to see that now. One day.

Nooo! Red hair must not go extinct! It's so pretty...

Hopefully we don't go extinct. I am quite fond of my red hair, though it has significantly darkened over the years...

Otherwise, this was a nice little article. I had no idea so many people carried the gene for red hair.

awe i'm a natural redhead.
:(

i don't want to be extinct!

A very nice article, I reckon. With random interesting clips of fact, PLUS a couple of predicted Doomsday dates for the hair colour of ginger. Intriguing~

I died my hair brown & it came out red. & people started making fun of me.
Then I died it again & it turned orange, people now call me pumpkin head. >.<
