Don’t mock redheads . . . they also have feelings
WHILE Hollywood actresses Christina Hendricks and Julianne Moore may be shining examples of women who are proud redheads, more needs to be done to stamp out antiredhead prejudice, according to Chrissy Meleady, chief executive of Equalities and Human Rights UK. It does seem that as a nation we take this kind of name-calling less seriously than we do about, say, sexism or racism. While I’m not a fan of identity politics, which I think is divisive and risks reducing people to just a few key characteristics, can we all just agree that mocking people about their physical differences hurts.
