So, on Nightline on ABC (or whatever show happened to be on the tele just a few minutes ago) there was some report about how the brits are ginger/red head phobic. At first, listening to it, I really thought of it as nothing but rubbish, (I don't know when I started saying words like tele and rubbish...maybe its this brit themed community) but then it made me think of a conversation I had with an english friend of mine a few years back. *Enter in cloudy, dream sequenced fog* We were talking about, well I don't remember. And I mentioned something about her possibly liking a guy, and she said something about his feet and not to mention, he had "gingery hair". It didn't phase me much then, but now...I wonder. So, do you brits find it true, either in general or in the people you surround yourself around, even if you may not be phobic in your own lives?
