#it's not a unicorn trait it's just a fucking gene that makes your hair a funny colour

Mom can you come pick me up. I just went in the tags and people are fetishising redheads again

#:/ #like ik its not as bad as the fetishisation a lot of groups get #but where in the UK theres a whole history of oppression in ireland & scotland that makes it easy to identify bias #like people hating freckles etc #in the US theres this like. borderline white supremacist obsession with freckles and red hair #it's like having red hair makes you a rare collectors edition white person #everyone is obsessed with redheads. with having red hair. with having freckles. #with dating or not dating redheads #just bc those traits are rare. suddenly a person is considered exotic and unique in a way that is compatible with white supremacy #& a lot of white liberals are like “aha. a group i can fetishise without being called racist” #idk. there are too many redheads in media. too much flaming red hair and aesthetically attractive freckles and blue eyes #i want a guy with freckles that make his face look dirty like me. #its like the authors of a story want to add diversity but refuse to add POC so they're like I know. we'll add more redheads. #redheads are cool and special and unique and quirky and STFU I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT #if it was your childhood dream to have red hair. analyse fucking why. #it's not a unicorn trait it's just a fucking gene that makes your hair a funny colour #get over it and stop acting like being a redhead makes someone special #it's just rude
