Source please: Aristotle on Redheads

Anyone recognize the source of this one?

In Ancient Egypt, the tables were turned and it was the redheads who were sacrificed, which, let’s face it, is hardly a good start, but does leave room for improvement. The Ancient Greeks didn’t quite consider it a death sentence, but Aristotle considered them to be “emotionally un-house broken“.

  1. My guess is that it’s pseudo-Aristotle, from “Aristotle’s Masterpiece” (a 17th-century work)
