Surver,

I think its important that you understand that not all of us at gingerism.com are attempting to 'racialise'as you put it.

I personally and have made it clear in the comments of other articles...

Please read '2010 Another year, Another Decade of Racist Bigotry' comments pages.

I had a fair sized rant about gingerism NOT being racism. I would really enjoy reading your response to my comments made on this article.

I agree redheads are not a race and nor should they class gingerism as race.

I hope you respond... I'll keep a look out for your response.

Thanks

It's very difficult to say whether Redheads are especially indigenous to the UK compared to the Blondes and Brunettes. Genetic studies carried out by Professor Jonathan Rees, a dermatologist based at Edinburgh University, have shown that the highest concentration of people carrying the Redhead gene are found in Ireland - 30%, Scotland, Cornwall 25%, Wales 21%. So I would suggest that the White-Blondes, White-Brunettes and White-Redheads are all significantly indigenous to the UK compared to dark skinned Black people.

Should the Brunettes, Blondes and Redheads racialise themselves as distinctive White groups the same way Black groups from Africa, China, Middle-East, South America are able to as distinctive Black groups?

I would suggest yes because these 3 White groups need to benefit equally from race laws the same way Black groups have.

Hair colour is a part of one's racial identity because it's influenced by the same protein that influences skin colour, melanin, which comes in two forms, eumelanin and pheomelanin, that is found in both hair and skin. Hair is also modified skin.

I think it's important that you keep this publicised for as long as possible so that Redheads can at least explain to Virgin Media why they're moving to another service provider.

Angela,

I can't believe 'this insanely ludicrous form of prejudice exists' either... 'I can assure you its' not 'jealousy'... its more.

I am a school teacher with a specialisation in New Media. New Media is well know world wide in schools for cyberbullying.

Redheads are bullied in schools almost world wide. Redheads in the UK and Australia continue to be bullied for being redheads well after their school years.

This site works against that bullying and uses new media to maintain that fight.

Your absolutely right... 'it should NEVER ever play a role in your own self-worth or esteem'...

BUT as a school teacher I have seen in nearly every school I have worked in that redheads are being ostracised, the girls especially are dying their hair, 'sick of being called ranga'... Redhead prejudice at its very least undoubtedly plays a key role in so many redhead teenagers 'self-worth and esteem' and impacts their lives at school and continues to affect their lives afterward.

REDHEADS DO RULE ;-p

Please keep following the blogg, and your comments are really appreciated!

Indigenous Redheads of the UK?

Which set of originally Germanic people ('the smallest') are you referring to in the UK?...

The Anglo-Saxon or Norman?

The problem in the UK is the pig ignorant aren't aware of how ignorant they are. In the UK all minorities are protected EXCEPT the indigineous, the smallest, a fine example of British fair play, NOT. Its my personal opinion that I'm worth more than mixing with the pig ignorant. There is nothing in it for me.

you need to come to the u.s. us 'gingers' are revered here - it's so hard to believe this insanely ludicrous form of prejudice even exists in the world today. i can assure you, as a fellow redhead, it's ALL about jealousy.. nothing more. that certainly doesn't make active discrimination easier to endure, but it should NEVER ever play a role in your own self-worth or esteem. REDHEADS RULE!;)
