Red on the head, like a dick on a dog.... Beaten like a redheaded step child... I guess some of the people responding did'nt ever hear these jokes, and many others, frowing up. One of my best friends growing up had red hair, and me and him were sort of the outcasts. My last name is Spanish, and if you look at me, I look pretty caucasion, whatever that is, so we both got teased a lot. We hung around together and got into a lot of fights. I learned not to judge people because of their hair color, color of skin, etc., etc, at an early age. I really think it is what someone has previously mentioned, that a lot of people in this world that have low self esteem problems find ways to find something different about others and make fun of it to make themselves feel better. To me, I try to judge a person soley on the interaction I have with them, look intio their eyes, and go from there. I am a bit jaded though, as I am trying to be honest here, when I see a man with red hair, I think of them as being somewhat stronger than the average, I guess because of my old friend, he was one though mutha, and when I see a girl with red hair, she is a bit more beautiful than others, maybe because of the crush I have always had on his little sister
. What I am trying to say is, I am still working on my goal to be tottally outward apperance blind, but to be honest, it is always going to be a work in progress. I guess it's just human nature, when you have dealings with a number of people that look the same, you tend to treat the next person you meet that looks like that group, the same. I have one saying that I try to live by, and it is It does'nt matter to me what you look like, if your are an asshole, then you are an asshole, and if you are decent, then you are decent.
