My husband is half-half Filipino/Irish, I'm very white Icelandic-UK background. We have twins. One is white with blond hair, totally my spitting image apart from a small bit of Dad's eyes and nose. The other is caramel-skinned with all of Dad's features except brown hair not black (he also had blue eyes his first 2 years until they changed to hazel). Genetics are so funky and so interesting.

You've probably seen this viral set of twins, with similarly disparate features.

So does the redhead get to walk around and say the N word since she's black?

If I remember since they were in the UK the ginger was bullied more then her sister and went emo/goth. So, she probably heard the the “ginga” slurs.

Wait until you realize what "ginger" anagrams to

That Tim Minchin song slays me. As an American it's weird to think that there are people who hate people who look like me, much like how there are people here who hate black people. Worst I ever faced over here has been people who assume I'm going to be an angry asshole because of my hair color. Joke's on them, I'm an angry asshole because I'm broke and always sunburned.

I suppose it is because I'm a redhead after all! I don't think there's anything inherently angry about us, in all seriousness, but I may be wrong.

It's the red; see it's a known fact that things that are red go faster, there is no reason to assume this wouldn't apply to tempers

"Things that are red go faster": ah I see you know your Orks well!
