People still do that for redheads

What stereotypes are there for redheads? I know the whole "they don't have a soul" thing, but I assumed people grew out of that by the time they reach high school. Like I know "blondes are dumb and loose," but I don't know what the stereotypes for redheads and brunettes are

Brunettes were said to be intelligent. Redheads had bad tempers. Anne of Green Gables, Pippi Longstocking, every redhaired anime character.

It’s funny, growing up I had some crushes on redheads in my class and I thought they were intimidating. But I never extrapolated that to anyone else ira

This is what white americans had as variety before the definition of whiteness expanded to include Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Polish etc.

Thinking on it, it may have been a way to crypto-refer to different white backgrounds, doing a mini-racism inside whiteness

Benjamin Franklin's essays on why Germans aren't white are absolutely wild reads. People in 1760 had such raw unfiltered racism swirling in their brains

amerikkka "Ben Franklin was so intelligent"

Ben Franklin:

Those who come hither are generally of the most ignorant Stupid Sort of their own Nation, and as Ignorance is often attended with Credulity when Knavery would mislead it, and with Suspicion when Honesty would set it right; and as few of the English understand the German Language, and so cannot address them either from the Press or Pulpit, ’tis almost impossible to remove any prejudices they once entertain. Their own Clergy have very little influence over the people; who seem to take an uncommon pleasure in abusing and discharging the Minister on every trivial occasion. Not being used to Liberty, they know not how to make a modest use of it; and as Kolben says of the young Hottentots, that they are not esteemed men till they have shewn their manhood by beating their mothers, so these seem to think themselves not free, till they can feel their liberty in abusing and insulting their Teachers.

The founding fathers were just extra racist "I just wanna grill" guys.

Read this in Trumps, it's funnier

Knew a guy once who broke up with someone because "he felt like he'd rather date a blonde instead" and just talked about this as if it was a normal, not completely unhinged thing to do. Same guy mourned the closing of a seedy stripclub that was on the median of the interstate where it entered the city, because, and I quote "there was a motel right there too."
