yea i should lol i love my blue eyes though. right in the middle near the pupil i have green but you can't see it unless you look really close. and during the summer my eyes change from anywhere to clear sky blue or dark like water depth blue and sometimes they change to a more aqua or greenish color. lol

Red hair is an anomoly and is quite random in families. You don't have to be redheaded to have a redheaded child. And a redhead in a family doesn't mean anyone else will be redheaded. It just is. It skips around.

By the way, I have brown/black eyes with golden rays in them - and I'm pretty sure they are fabulous looking!

When I was in Biology class I learned that red hair is a genetic defect. Maybe Irish just have a more dominant gene that is defective??

I'm of Scottish-Irish heritage and I have brown hair (now mostly gray) and blue eyes. But, no red hair in anyone in my family.

Ginger people get a really rough deal in the UK - I don't know what it's like in the US but here they are the butt of jokes and are generally considered unattractive. Not by EVERYONE obviously, but that's the stereotype of a ginger person - unsexy, no friends. Particularly, ginger men. It's weird. I have no idea why it's such a big deal.

whats "ginger?" i don't think we have a specific hair color that's th butt of jokes here in the US. WEll techinically BLONDE is cause that's what all the jokes are about but it's not mean. blondes are considered very attractive with friends but really dumb lol not the case though. i make fun of my sis cause she is blonde... not anymore though cause she's dyed her hair so much it's brown now....

Ginger is what red headed people are called. They can be referred to as 'gingers'.
