To get upset when people are nasty about ginger hair?

So obviously I have ginger hair, and I have always had people take the mick out of me for it.

Don't get me wrong I can take a joke, I went to see Jimmy Carr and he asked if there was anyone with ginger hair, and when we shouted yes, he said at least we have the problem contained, which I knew was a joke and thought was hilarious.

However what winds me up is when people say things like 'oh you must be really relieved your children don't have your hair colour' and 'you must hate your hair colour' etc. I don't mind what colour my children's hair is, I am just extremely grateful to have 2 children after going through a hard time to get them.

Even my own husband winds me up about it, and he knows I am sensitive about it, and says he is only joking, I thought a joke was meant to be funny!

Just feeling a bit wound up about it as a friend who used to cut my hair just got back from a hol and said her hair has started to turn ginger in the sun and she is going to have to colour it straight away! Charming!

nurse bernard, I think you are right, it's good looks that count really. the real 'ism' is for unattractive people, who might well, oh holy grail, be natural blondes. ugly is ugly. beautiful is beautiful, even bald, beautiful is beautiful.
