In the late seventeenth century, women with red hair were executed for Witchcraft. Hundreds of years later and the persecution continues. I'm a member of the worlds least acknowledged minority group and in my opinion, shouting 'carrot top' is as offensive as being racist or homophobic. Only recently a family from Newcastle were forced to move because of this kind of victimisation.

I'm ginger, I'm proud and I've had enough.

Hiya James, I have Ginger hair and i'm proud of it. One of my friends has 5 kids and they are all ginger but she's ashamed of it she keeps saying that they're strawberry blonde, what a load of rubbish. I read an article on the internet a while ago that said Ginger people need to get together and have more ginger babies because the population is dying out. So come on Gingers get together & start making more ginger babies, keep the Ginger population going x

I have ginger hair! But all my friends act as if they are warming their hands on my head, like a fire.
My wife has very long red hair, pale skin, freckles and she's "Red-Hot"!
My dad made me watch "The Quiet Man", the old film with some bloke and the amazingly sizzling and feisty Maureen O'Hara, I've been hooked on red's ever since.
