Red hair is simply a genetic human trait that when mixed with other genes, tends to give way, and is replaced by other hair colors. This makes people with red hair less and less common as time goes on. I’m not exactly sure where along the line “ginger hate” developed, (my photographer LJ despises them) Some people even think that people with red hair aka Gingers don’t have a soul, so one day the 18 year Youtube User Coppercap got mad. Mad enough to create the video “GINGERS DO HAVE SOULS” which has since become a real Internet Meme, watched by millions of people. If Gingers don’t have a soul the devil did some good business in the Netherlands, because of Redhead Day festival. Redhead Day is the name of a Dutch summer festival that takes place each first weekend of September in the city of Breda, in the Netherlands. The two-day festival is a gathering of people with natural red hair, but is also focused on art related to the color red. Images by Jurgen Rijsdijk.
