-snip, article's date was misread.- Source for future reference: [URL]http://digitaljournal.com/article/220229/[/URL] Also, for those too lazy to click subsequent links, it was proven a hoax.
My girl's a redhead. But me being of Indian descent, it's unlikely that gene will be dominant if we have kids.
i love the comments saying that their kids are red headed, brown or blue color eyes, and can tan. They need to go back to school. Pure red heads cannot tan, they have green eyes.
I'm a red head, although my hair has darkened quite a lot over the years.

I have green eyes, red hair with long lasting pink skin :I
This was posted in 2007, the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_hair#Extinction_hoax]Wikipedia page[/url] the article linked to says this was a hoax.
I'm genetically pale with brown eyes, but it's odd how genes can die out, I guess they can. I'm not a redhead though. So for me the paleness came from elsewhere as I doubt someone who I have seen in my family is that pale.
OP, you're about 5 years late. Your article is from 2007 Not to mention that was dismissed as a hoax.

Oh well
This sounds pretty bad for me since i'm actually a redhead, although I have blue eyes mind you, but no matter how many times I got sunburned, still pale like milk.
If the redhead genes are dying out, we should preserve an "archetype" based on said genes, so that if designer genetics ever takes off in the future, we could bring back redheads. The redhead code could perhaps be tweaked to make future redheads less cancer-prone, less susceptible to temperature-based pain, and retain the Vitamin D proficiency, as well as perhaps making that particular gene less "recessive" and engineering it so that most redheads are sexually attractive, ensuring the proliferation of the redhead code.
Yeah I know I'm weird, but I actually don't like redheads, so "meh".
Oh shit I swear it said "a month ago". I fucked up. So I guess it was a month ago, five years ago. fuck. :suicide:

Mind that redhead genes are actually defective genes,counting all the bad things that come from being a natural redhead.

Strawberry Blond, over here, and Hazel-Green Eyes. I don't have freckles or any of that typical ginger bullshit. I keep out of the sun to prevent freckles from appearing. I have some on my shoulders but that's it. I'm pale as fuck, I look dead.

Nope, still not having kids. Sorry.

In 2060 "gingers have no soul" will be true.
I suppose there's always hair coloring. :smith:
