I think you ' re absolutely right , so I should have specified as a black american . The reason I chose this misconception is because I have met people who legitimately did not know black people can have red hair naturally . A friend of mine gets asked often why he dyes his beard , then when he tells them it ' s natural they look at him like he ' s joking . <| sep |> That ' s some bullshit . Fuck Dallas . <| sep |> no , but its a great pictographic description . I still highly recommend reading the books . I would really say they were both right in different ways . Personally and probably more controversial , I would even start talking about H . G Well ' s depictions of the future in The Time Machine . The Eloi being the Proles of 1984 . It basically describes a separation in class on a global scale . The Eloi live a carefree life above ground with everything provided , without the knowledge of them being farmed for food by the Morlocks underground . I highly recommend the movie , as well as the book . I would say they are far more relevant today than when they were written but then again probably a more controversial depiction . speaking of them all , a brave new world , 1984 , and specifically the time machine
