20 Unbelievable Facts Every Ginger Person Should Know

6. Ancient Egyptians And Romans Hated Gingers Too

Who knew Egypt even had gingers? Apparently they not only had them, but they did not like them either, which isn't at all surprising considering the number of other communities, cultures and individuals who openly hate them. Red hair was associated with the evil god, Seth, who the Greeks knew as Typhon. This dislike for redheads extended into ancient Greek and Roman communities. Romans showed their mistrust of the ginger people by giving their red wigs to the people playing slaves in their dramas. They were using red wigs centuries before Shakespeare made it cool.
