I do, but I’m older than dirt.
Was she a natural redhead, though?

[del]Quite possibly. Dad was Spanish but Mom was Irish.[/del]
Edited for correction: Nope. Dark brown.
What part of fools-guy-nee d’you not unnerstand?
Nah, I kid, I intentionally tend to use non-genderspecific self-identification online.
Ginger kids are kind of the unwanted redheaded stepchild of bullied minorities. 
Seriously, I’ve seen reports of and comments on a number of instances where this is a problem. Valteron is bringing up an issue. Maybe the whole thing about not bullying anyone or stereotyping anyone for something that’s part of their innate nature is worthy of being emphasized?
Seems to be a large problem in England.
Well, big enough to make fun of.
If anyone ever comments on my (decreasingly) red hair, it’s positive.
My dad is a ginger. We’ve never hugged. I’m not saying there is a connection.
I remember when I was a freshman in high school and a protest (by refusing to enter the school and stay outside) against extending the school year was organized. I thought it was stupid, yet I succumbed because I just wanted to participate in a group action that comes along rarely and find out what it would be like.
About the same time, given I had never punched anyone, I was involved with a mild dispute with a neighbour boy. I can still remember clearly, contemplating whether or not to punch him and find out if I could actually throw a decent punch. I did. I had the satisfaction of knowing that I connected very well, but on the other hand I felt nothing else but remorse and never punched anyone else since.
I sort of take this event in the same vein. Kids wanting to know what its like to be a bully on one day,given a group mandate, does not translate into a lifetime of bullying or bigotry. Individual actions should be punished, but I don’t see a hate crime here.
