Redheads from Brasil
by Roger
(Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil)
Hi!
My name is Roger, and I'm from Brasil. Our family lives in south, where the immigrants came more than 200 years ago...My family came from Germany and also from north of Europe. We live in a tropical country, but here in the south is not so rare see a redhead in the streets. Our family have 3 redheads (me, my older son and my daughter). Have uncles and others in our family with the MC1R gene...
Like Robert ("I answer back to idiots" photo), I lived in UK some years ago and people liked to call me "ginger". Like him, I don't like that "nick"...Why people in Europe are so racist? Here in Brasil we donīt suffer that kind of calling. Here people think "redheads" are pure Europeans breeds...(sorry about my English). So that's my short story...
Bye!
