Cultural Differences
Western culture:
Redheads are often seen as distinctive, sometimes associated with traits like fiery temper or passion, though this is stereotypical. Historically, can be romanticized or, less commonly now, subject to teasing.
East Asian culture:
Less common, as red hair is not indigenous. Can be seen as exotic or unique.
