Irish people have red hair. They also drink and fight a lot. Geez, aren't you up on your stereotypes, PG?
My little brother and mom has red hair. I think they are witches and should be burned. :)
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IRISH PEOPLE.
Don't the scottish also have red hair? Irish people are anything from blonde to brown hair from my limited memory.
And yes, I seriously don't know the answer to this question. Sorry for not being as racist as I can be *salutes* /sarc
I'm Scottish with red hair, but thats about all I know on the subject!
My family is Scottish and a little Irish, and no one has red hair... weird I know. But yeah, I would consider more Irish, Scottish and English people to have red hair than anywhere else, defenatly not China or Japan... *sniggers*
Actually, all human beings have red hair. But there are many different shades of red, and most of those tend to be very dark or very light.
Red hair genes come from us celts yes the Scottish, Irish, Welsh and even the English mainly but it can also occur as a freak event but I believe it was England and theres many a shade as we brits call them:
Carrot
Ginger
Auburn
and Oh S**t thats really red!
I am Irish with red hair!! *takes a shot of whisky* YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?
As far as I remember, the Irish had very little red hair amongst them until the Scottish started immigrating. The scots are better known for the red, and alot of Americans with red hair are of Scots-Irish descent, like me. But my hair is dirty blonde. My sister is a red head though.
Heh, I still call my little brother "a carrot" or "carrothead" sometimes. :)
It's vikings!!!!!!!!
Very dark red hair is a Japanese trait.
I believe the scottish have the gene like everyone else said. I always liked red hair... :)
Come to think of it, when you think of ancient Celtic heroes, you think red hair, tartan togas, woad, and people changing into swans or being chained to rocks cause they are terrific fighters.
Isn't it ginger hair, and not red?
Scottish clansmen and fighters with ginger hair...
Then again, when you say it like that, the heroism fades somewhat, doesn't it?
No Lindz, it doesn't. Just think of Conan O'brien.
RED KOOLAID!
Strawberries and red candy bears. *n.n*
I think that it all started with the Russians...really. :)
Russians have red hair too? *head spins*
Stop blaming the Russians, the poor Russians get enough flak already.Quote:

I'm Scottish, and no one in my family has red hair. But I imagine the Irish being carrot-topped.
Personally I blame the Slovenians. And the Irish. But mainly the Slovenians.
It's always fun to blame Russians for everything. Especially Leeza. :)
Actually a significant percentage of the population in both China and Japan have red hair, its just not that bright bright red that the stereotype of a scottsmen always has while hes playing his bagpipes out on his hill with all the sheep. ;)Quote:

see you also have to have the genes in your family remember high school biology with the genetic chromosomes and stuff like how if it's XX one result occurs and if the result is XY then another (I cant fully remember but thats the male and female determining one right?) well you have dominant and reccessives called something in french cant remember alle something well the one for red hair is always, always, always the reccessive so ever wonder if both your parents are brunettes or blondes or black haired and your red haired look to your granparents seeing as one of them from each side of the family will be red haired back to the X and Y explanation:
in this X = any colour but red Y = Red
result one - XX - no red
Result two - XY - not red but the gene is there their kid could be red haired
Result three - YX - same as above but other way round still not red
Result four - YY - Red haired person
to be red haired both of your parents or grand parents need to be carrying the Red hair gene.
All this talk about cool hair, and now I feel I am inferior with my normal dark brown hair. :(
ahh see red hair on women is VERY NICE!!! :love: (I have a fetish for redhaired girls especially with a scotish accent and the paler the skin the better) whereas red hair on a guy is nowhere near as attractive lucky for me I take after my mother and not my dad seeing as he was strawberry coloured I give of the whole dark brooding feel apparently
my facial hair is sorta red
nope I'm pale as a ghost with dark brown hair and black facial and brown eyes so I definitely did not take after my Father also he was short and rotund (a little word I remembered for fat) and I'm taller than all of my relatives even my grand mother on my moms side who I never met (died when my mom was little) who was the tallest person in living memory in my family so I'm just the freak as I get referred to by my big brother untill I stand up :D
I have red hair!!!!
It's natural, a cousin of my mother had it....
Unfortunatly she was arrested, u know drugs....
I'm really sad that I never met her...
I'm so pretty!! I'm kiddin'!!!!!
Thats right you scum! You are inferior!Quote:

Don't overcomplicate it, hair colour has nothing to do with the sex chromosome, and I do A-Level Biology so we had a whole module on this stuff.
You'd better not dis' Red heads, or "I'll bring you down baby, I'll bring you down to Chinatown!!!!" hee hee
omfg is it possible to have red facial hair?!?!@4?>!@$@!
