Why are red heads bullied?

Red heads are rare because they have two copies of the recessive gene on Chromosome 16, which causes a mutant in the MC1R protein. Scientists estimate the original red heads were first bred into the world about 20,000 to 100,000 years ago, much less longer than someone of a different hair colour. It is rare because there were less of them to breed, and of course the outcome of a redhead child depended on the hair colour of the mother and father.
