Grr ... why is it that people think redheads are something?


So .. I am minding my own business today and this (ok, young adult) come up and asks "Are you a ginger? My buddy and I have a bet." He also give me what I am sure he thinks is a sexy grin .. but it comes out as a leer.

Now I have to decide what to answer. Yes, I know that I have lots of red highlights, and sunlight makes my hair look a little more fiery than normal, but I don't consider myself a ginger. Plus, I don't want to feed into any stereotyping of redheads .. especially since he is trying to be a little too close for comfort.

I ended up giving him the librarian look (you know, the glare over the tops of the glasses) and asking him where his parents were. He blushed red and scurried off .. but I was left wondering if I fed the stereotype or not.

Maybe just a little! LOL! Ultimatly, I wonder if the sruff about hair color is just another self fulfilling promotion. There is no reason to believe blonds are less intelligent than other hair colors, I have known very smart blondes, but people still act like it is true. Why, maybe some people accept the myth and develop the sterotypical characteristics, they become what they were told. I could be full of shit. LOL

Serve me!! It is what you crave! jdxafn at hot....
