   Non-white with natural red hair seems damn near impossible

     So you didnt mean non-white so much as asian? Good luck finding an asian red-head. not sure I've ever seen that.

     Only natural asian red-head i could find. Others looked strawberry blonde.

     Not too surprising when you understand the genes for it. The gene mutation that created red-heads occured in Ireland and spread from there. So naturally the farther a race is situated from ireland the less common it will be.

     You also have to couple that with the fact that red-headed gene is recessive and most asian genes regarding their appearance are dominant, specifically the typically black hair color most asians have. As such even with very pale skin one would expect the red-headed gene not to easily proliferate within the asian community.

     I could see it being natural within the turks since they have less dominate hair color genes (browns and other lighter colors are more common).

     @icedquinn

     Valid points but the important point in this case is that gene's origin is specifically from ireland. So naturally as with any gene it is highly concentration in and near ireland and becomes statistically more rare the farther out you go.

     So while they are absolutely able to carry the gene they are unlikely to have it for that reason, and even they do it is unlikely to actually express itself because dominant genes mast it, as dominant genes do.

     @icedquinn

     Oh and one other thing I forgot to add. It very much has something to do with other hair color as well. The MC1R gene encodes for the melanin in hair and skin and can determine if a persons hair is blonde, black, brown, or red, though it isnt the only gene involved in determining the aesthetics of your hair. But it is very much related and not a separate entity.

     @igeljaeger

     Red hair isnt a gene for the lack of melanin, that would be albinoism and that looks very different.

     @cola

     Pics are welcome of course. But no one here is doubting they cant have red hair really. I only speculated it is kind of rare among asians due to multiple factors. I'm not sure anything you wanted to share would be in disagreement with that. No one is arguing red heads arent more common in other areas.
