    sigh This kind of ignorant discrimination goes on a lot in Japan too. A small percentage of ethnically Japanese people do NOT have black hair, but it is very much a standard. Some schools make kids dye it!

      There are areas in Asia where people have blond or red hair. I assume those kids have ancestors in those regions.

      Of course it’s jealousy because these people tend to look awesome.

          For me it’s only my moustache area. It’s funny trimming my beard and seeing the color change. Everyone jokes with my uncle that he’s adopted, as the only red head in the family, but there’s clearly some ginger genes in there
