Why do the British hate redheads?

Maybe it is because historically the Welsh have had red hair and the English have been at odds with the Welsh for centuries. Just a guess.

Redheads are adorable. I especially like the ones with a ton of freckles and green eyes. Natural redheads have the best coloring I've ever seen.

Well I am a red head and I am not sure why either. I get a lot of flack for being a red head here in America and then you have those who just love redheads. I wished I could understand their reasoning. Ohwell.

That is a bit strange since most redheads originated in that part of the world. My mother, grandmother and brother are/were all redheads and my natural hair is a light brown with red highlights so I'm used to seeing redheads arounds. It's become a very popular color here in the US lately.

Whoever told you this is talking rubbish. I am English and live in the north of england. I have 3 daughters 2 of them are redheads. My youngest is always getting stopped because people are telling her how beautiful her hair is. English people have no problems with redheads.

i would not agree with that. red hairs are common in that part of the world. there are a lot of people from different places from the world staying in my home town (mostly tourism) and a lot of them are British and a lot of them were red haired. My former English teacher who is from London is red hair.

I know as I hard in the news few days back. You cant tell british hates it, there are some protion of the mass people who does not like this and also laugh at the red hair British. Like Prince Harry has red hair and his friends laugh at him. There are several example where british people has read hairs and are being harrassed by other British. few days back a lady sued her boss for harrassing her.

I didn't even know that. It made me think of the Spice Girls though and Ginger Spice and how she had red hair, but then they were from England which is technically different from Britain.

I'm from england, and i can't say that i've noticed any real predjudice on hair colour. When i lived in scotland though my brother was at that time a red head, he got bullied relentlessly ( the scots are often portrayed as red heads ) he got called all sorts of names. I think if people want to be unkind they'll chose the most obvious thing, in this case the hair colour.

That's rubbish. I have a friend who is affectionately known as ginger Nic (she has the most amazing hair!). My dad's entire family are ginger (he has 9 brothers and sisters), my nephew is ginger... no one hates them because of their hair colour. Whoever told you that all Brits hate gingers is talking rubbish.

My best friend is british and as far as I know he likes redheads... I dunno about the rest of the UK though. I know for one thing... being a redhead in a public school in the USA (or at least more specifically, Texas) REALLY SUCKS. I was treated so terribly, bullied, teased, harassed, threatened... that I ended up dropping out of highschool (but, that was years ago... I've since gotten GED). Not just due to the red hair but it seemed to be a big part of it. ... Then I find out later on in life that many adults love and envy red hair... heh... go figure. I think a lot of it is jealousy. I love my hair... and naturally everyone else should too! hahaha j/k =p We natural redheads are lucky and so rare...
