If you are a true natural redhead you may be interested in this. They had a fun Ginger (current name for redheads) Pride Walk in Scotland. Below is the link to the article from CNN and a I copied a snip of the article below. I was teased and bullied as a redhead in school. As an adult, I get compliments galore on my hair color. But I see from this article redheads are still being mocked. I used to hate my hair but now I love it. It is my understanding only 1 to 2 % of the world has natural red hair!

The UK's first Ginger Pride Walk was actually orchestrated by a Canadian comedian named Shawn Hitchens, who said, "Although it isn't a real word, 'gingerism' exists, and bullying exists. ... Kids are being subjected to taunts or being bullied in schools just for having red hair."
