I don't think they are necessarily looked down upon as regarded with suspicion. Particularly the females. Red haired, green eyed people are thought to be descended from the Tuatha De Danaan, an ancient Irish people of mythical/divine origin who were believed to possess magical powers or 'sidhes'. These beliefs have made a genetic imprint on the collective subconcious and to this day, redheads can inexplicably scare the shit out of people.

Thanks, that's very interesting!
I hope my girls don't scare anybody! Their hair isn't fire engine red, it's like strawberry blonde, Nicole Kidman's color. Still red. But, if they had some magical powers, they could help me pick Powerball numbers.

I don't think so. Some traditions hold that Jesus himself was redhaired and of the Tuatha De Danaan. These people generally dwell on a higher plane than most mortals and don't concern themselves with worldly things like money and lotteries. This is the true meaning of the statement "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's"

Nice try though

Oh, well that sucks then.

Everyone can get made fun of for something, I guess.

And as far as prejudice goes, no one is immune. Not fat people, any religion, any race, any handicap, or any mental illness. The way you dress, what kind of makeup you wear, Oh, and age.
Your car, your job. If your married, for God's sake.

Kinda sucks, huh.

South Park and Family Guy rock though, they make fun of everyone.

I love Family Guy, but South Park is a bit preachy and self-righteous for my tastes.

This is a small preview of the picture. Click it for full size.

That is so sad.

They say that here, "You are like a red-headed step-child"..as an insult...sad....

Nothing wrong with redheads. My hair used to be sun bleach blonde until i started shaving it off, my armpit hair is the same colour so is the hair on my arms and legs but all the rest is red. Now if i don't shave for a few days the hair on my head is the same shade of red as my beard.

In my opinion, red headed women are either "extreamly hot" or "extreamly not", nothing in between.
