Redheads are a minority unto themselves. It has been shown that the gene that causes redhair is a mutation. It makes us unique among the many other european descent peoples.

We have our own sterotypes;
1. Redheads are unlucky
2. Redheads have a short temper.
3. Redheaded women are wild in bed. (Funny..you never see that said about us guys)

And many many more. Most stem from either cultural bias in early america of the irish. Though some redhead myths come from the most ancient days. In egypt, redheads were actually sacrificed to the god Set.

In the middle ages, unsavory characters that range from Satan, Judas and prostitutes would quite often be depicted with redhair.
Even in Britain, ppl with redhair are called ginger. And thats not a good term.

Even today, with the exception of some redheaded ladies, name some redheaded actors/characters.

1. Carrot Top
2. Sideshow Bob
3. Dexter

If you notice, most are comedic or nerds.

But that is just a smokescreen of the blondes and brunettes. Redheads rule!! Some of our more prominent members;

1. King David
2. Queen Elizabeth I
3. Hawkgirl from JLU
4. The Flash from JLU
5. StarFire from Teen Titans
6. Kim Possible
