= Solution

Every position in the random <permutation> has the same marginal colour <probability>, so \b[$\mathbb P(\text{second red})=m/(m+n)$]. One can verify this with the <law of total probability>, conditioning on the first card:
$$
\frac mN\frac{m-1}{N-1}+\frac nN\frac m{N-1}
=\frac{m(m-1+n)}{N(N-1)}=\frac mN.
$$
Here $N\geq2$ because both colour counts are positive.
