Approximately just 2% of the human population is born with red hair. And life can be tough for them, as they are constantly being called all kinds of names and are the brunt of many jokes. There are even claims that people with red hair are incapable of possessing a soul. That is why many Ginganinjas head to Roodharigendag or Red Hair Day every year to meet up with like-minded, or like-haired, friends. So they can comfort each other.
More than 1 000 gingers held a massive confidence-boosting weekend in Breda, Holland, to celebrate International Redhead Day this last weekend. News reports coming out of the area have been slow because national news agencies were weighing up whether or not such distressing information would serve the public interest.
