That makes some sense, but to me that theory would line up better if they targeted blondes specifically.
It could just be that there's more blondes than gingers, so it's harder to 100% exclude them.
Something about the hit rate on gingers makes me think it's more than just anti-white. And I don't mean it's not anti-white, I mean it implies a specific flavor or subset of anti-white rather than the just general
blond is actually a rare trait, only about 5%, mostly northern Europeans, so western stories outside the Nordic sagas will have mostly various shades of red/brown
Not in fiction though, blondes are heavily overrepresented vs gingers.
Thats what i mean more blondes, there's fewer redheads to replace so it makes your ratio way easier to spike.
