Great piece for the gingers who get annoyed at fake redheads thinking they understand what it’s like to actually be ginger (through the freckles all over your body, the 80-100 spf sunscreen, the increased risk of skin cancer, the hating your hair because it’s different, the bullying, the stereotypes, and then the realizing that the people who say red hair is beautiful are really only talking about people with fake red hair).
(Don’t get me wrong, if you want to dye your hair red, go ahead, but don’t think that makes you a member of an exclusive club or something.)
Question: am I a self-hating ginger for wanting to crank up my color from Emma-Stone-in-“The Help”-red to Karen-Gillan-red?
