And yet it happens all the time. For all the clearly wrong prejudices that have been brought back since 2016, I‘m still waiting for the day it‘s okay again to openly do and say horrible things to gingers. I‘ve heard a few terms in my day that I‘m really hoping to never hear again.

GingerAntics In the Litsy reviews for this book, someone claimed that Harvey equated ginger hate to Black Lives Matter. If this is the section that person was talking about, no she did not. She didn‘t even come remotely close to that. I‘ve got one chapter left (Redhead Days) and I‘ve yet to find any mention of (let alone any equating to) Black Lives Matter. 5y
julesG I think the only time I truly detested having dyed my hair from its then still natural blonde to red was overhearing my father saying "If the roof's rusting, then the cellar's moist." ?? 5y
GingerAntics @julesG WOW!!! Your father said that about his daughter. That‘s just...WOW!!! Yeah, there was a whole chapter on that, how redheads are supposed to be more sexual than other people...at least red headed women. (edited) 5y

julesG It was an offhand remark about redheads in general and he was talking to my mother, but still. 🤮 5y
GingerAntics @julesG by still... wow. Thanks dad. 5y
Izai.Amorim And after that they‘ll come for the left handed people. 5y
GingerAntics @Izai.Amorim oh god I‘m one of those, too!!! CRAP!!! 5y
Izai.Amorim Oh!!!! 😱😱 Red head and left handed! In the middle ages they would have burned you as a witch! The word for left in Italian is sinistra, deriving from il sinistro, the devil. The left hand is the evil hand... And in Africa they kill the albinos. Welcome to the human race: If it's different, we kill it! 5y
GingerAntics @Izai.Amorim exactly!!! I grew up Catholic which is still mildly Middle Ages. lol some of my earliest memories are of my grandmother ripping crayons and forks out of my left hand and shoving them in my right hand. I‘m forced ambidextrous now, but I far prefer my left over my right for writing and drawing. 5y
