[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not because I look like that, but yes, I love the look. Imitating it is very difficult for other complexions. Perhaps it used to be a beauty ideal. It’s more now. But isn’t it all about scarcity? Green eyes are the most recessive trait, then red hair, then blondes and blue eyes to follow. That might spell a huge return for this type of beauty ideal quite soon.[/quote]

Blue-eyes/red hair is the rarest combination in the world, more rare than green eyes/red hair or brown-eyes/red hair.[/quote]

It's also been the target of much hate and reviled in many places around the world.  Even with the whole 'red-headed step child' thing.

Or the bar drink the 'red headed sl*t" (Jagermeister, peach schnapps, cranberry)

To be a 'ginger' in the UK was to be reviled.  And, in latin American countries they were seen as the devil.  Carrot-top, Bozo the Clown, copper-top, ginger-nut, ginger minger, bluey (among Australians), Duracell, Ronald McDonald, Simply Red, Queen Elizabeth. And so on

Ginger is still seen as a derogatory term.  South Park came out with the episode "Ginger Kids" that said, among other things, that gingers were sick, evil, and had no souls. "You have no soul!" has become a common accusation directed towards redheads that is often viewed as acceptable in normal society, even at schools and work. This discrimination against redheads is often overlooked, ignored, or discounted because most redheads are white and part of a racial majority in the areas where they are persecuted.

In the UK--60% of redheads have faced discrimination because of their hair color:
