My daughter is a red head (recessive genes) and she is the only one in the family with red hair. Since she is now only 7 years old she does not feel self conscious about this yet. We do all we can to let her know just how beautiful she is.

When I see stuff like "Kick a Ginger Day" it really breaks my heart and makes me hate humanity. I also read a blog post once about how ginger children have no souls and it also broke me heart.

Why does there have to be so much hate toward red headed people? In America it might be better than in the UK but they still have an old saying "like a red headed step child" and that's not nice either.

I really wish people would not promote violence toward red headed people, especially children. There is already so much violence in this world and so many narrow minded people who actually believe this trash. Let's stop this now.

I totally agree with "col mcgillveray" and "anne" and I happen to be living in Ireland at the moment. My wife is Irish and herself and the rest of the people here would disagree with that chart, but technically it may be right. It seems odd that part of the British Isles are not part of Britain but that may be the case.

It is a very touchy subject here and I say it's best to avoid the subject all together.

The main circle needs to be moved over a wee bit to include northern ireland but not the republic. Get your pen out.
