Random but honest question, from an anon who is not attracted to redheads and doesn't understand other people's obsession with it:
If red hair is from a recessive gene, and if recessive carriers mating together over generations can lead to genetic weakness, isn't red hair be naturally unattractive to people in terms of reproduction? Is it only interesting as a curiousity because of its rarity?
In one study, less than 9% of men preferred redheads - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/slightly-blighty/201509/which-hair-color-induces-the-strongest-physical-attraction
"It is also possible that both red hair and freckled skin are viewed as less attractive because they are both recessive traits. This could be related to attractiveness because there is an evolutionary benefit to mixing genes from different groups. When a person’s heritage is very mixed, there is less of a chance that a harmful recessive gene will have an opportunity to express itself."

In the regions with the highest populations of red haired people, are those areas known to have any common health problems at a higher rate than elseswhere?
