There was an article in the paper today that stated that some English pick on red-haired people. I was shocked. I was also somewhat disbelieving. I can believe that some child would call some other child a name (carrot-top, for instance), but the idea of anything much more serious than that boggles my mind. Can anybody confirm or deny such "discrimination" in either England or NZ?

Part of the article mentioned particular people and their woes. Even poor Prince Harry was suffering from name calling. Apparently, the guys in his military unit call him the "ginger bullet magnet."

Personally, I'm not too worried. What hair I have remaining is getting grayer all the time.
