A woman recently ignited a trend that’s taken TikTok by storm. In her post, Deiara (@scorpiostellyla1meramera) declared that all redheads are Black people. The TikTok went mega-viral. As of May 19, the controversial take has been watched 67.7 million times. There are thousands of posts riffing on the idea that redheads are Black. Both sides are tickled by the mutual outpouring of acceptance and affection.
The camaraderie has inspired a member of the ginger community to ask for help righting what many view as a wrong: The lack of redhead emoji on iPhones.
