Racism rears its ugly head - again!

Another case of racism ?


Is no one immune. Even gingers need love... :O(


The world's largest sperm bank has started turning down redheaded donors because there is too little demand for their sperm.


"There are too many redheads in relation to demand," he told told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet. "I do not think you chose a redhead, unless the partner - for example, the sterile male - has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads. And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case."


Mr Schou said the only reliable demand for sperm from redheaded donors from Ireland, where he said it sold “like hot cakes”.


Cryos’s stores have now reached their peak capacity of 70 litres of semen, and Mr Schou has a waiting list of 600 donors. He said sperm from donors with brown hair and brown eyes was particularly in demand, because of the bank’s large customer base in Spain, Italy and Greece.

It's more than that.  People look for build, complexion, facial structure.  Whether someone has a full set of hair... how well is the eye sight.  They are wanting children like in that movie Gattica!!!

The title kinda fooled me. I don't see racism at all. It's all about demand.

Cryos pays donors up to $500 (£316), and sends its semen to over 65 countries worldwide.

5 women in Spain want to pay me to donate my sperm for them to have babies by with no strings attached.  Very flattering!! 

 Thank God I don't have red hair. LMAO, but is the truth.
