There's nothing wrong with a bit of ginger!
What is the world coming to?! Sperm bank is turning away redheads! As if we don't get enough guff growing up, now our guys' sperm is even being turned away! 
I'm probably biased, but I love red hair, and I'm actually a little disappointed that our future children won't have it too since we don't think there's any red on DH's side of the family.

Re: There's nothing wrong with a bit of ginger!
What's with all this anti-ginger sentiment in society today? Did people actually believe that stupid South Park episode where Cartman asserts that ginger people "have no souls".
My uncle and two of my cousins are ginger and I don't understand why people in general are getting like this.

I heard that on the radio! How crazy.
Derek and I have the potential to have red headed children. He had fairly red hair when he was born (and his beard is still red) and I've got red haired people all through my mom's side. Hopefully the right genes met up and the blonde gets pushed to the side!
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
I wish my hair was more red. I had an uncle who was very auburn, and his daughter (my cousin) has the most gorgeous red hair ever. She did shampoo commercials a long time ago - her hair is that pretty.
Is 'ginger' really a derogatory term? Maybe more in the UK than US? I hadn't even heard it until the past couple of years.

Wait, what? I'd love to be able to carry off some red. I'll use henna for a reddish tint, but that's as far as I can go.
H had red hair as a baby, and I can still see some hints of it on his sideburns when his hair grows out a bit. No red on this side. Black and brown hair all around for my side.

I have to say, I thought this was going to be about using ginger as an ingredient or something about cooking.
That's really dumb. I can't believe they would turn donors away for that reason. Nobody has red hair in my family, but I love diversity and wish this wasn't an issue.
What!? That is so dumb! I love red heads but I may be a little partial since my nephew has red hair and I think he's the cutest thing ever.
See.
