"Drunk yobs"....

....... and even those not drunk will find any excuse to try to humiliate anyone.

Heck, she could have been wearing a polka dot blouse, and he would have come up with something.

There are just some people who get their jollies and try to minimize their own shortcomings by denigrating others.

On the other hand, IMO some folks are just too thin-skinned, and express righteous indignation at the drop of a hat. And some just look for excuses to feel offended and be indignant.

Naturally red hair is not as common here as brown, black, blonde or gray. (And the brown, black and blonde are not always natural.)

We see that here on SE on a daily basis.

Never more obvious than in 'sexual harrassment" cases too often, IMO.

Being a blonde myself, I have encountered it. Endless "dumb blonde" jokes. But then again, we *do* have more fun!
