Gingers - Are they really a lower form of life?

[Biscuit]

i cant beleive they took her seriously and removed it from the store what a damn baby! Bald people get the piss taken all the time why dont they bann those jokes too jeez.

I think "gingerism" is akin to racism, After all, If i take the piss out of a black person because of the colour of their skin, I can potentially face jail time, but I get ridiculed because of the colour of my hair on a daily basis and people just continue to point and laugh.....

.....Anyway, anyone who has a problem with red-heads also has DR to deal with!

Ginger people arent a race.
There was never 200 years of ginger slavery. after all, the worse person in the world to send into a field to do some work would be ginger...

[Bunjiweb]

I didn't say they were a race, hence my wording which I suggest you re-read!

I was born with ginger hair, I did not choose it, and there's little I can do to alter it other than dying my hair, but would you tell a black person to get out the powder to "white up" ?

I just still don't understand why "gingerism" is so tolerated. I am not the type to get offended by these kinda things, and if i'd seen the card I probably would have laughed and moved on, but there is still IMHO, no real need for it, and I still don't understand why some forms of discrimination are tolerated, whilst other's are deemed to be criminal offences!....

I don't want to lower this thread into a stupid debate over the matter, I just think some people need to think a little more carefully about comments that are made.

I'm quite fond of ginger women.. (provided they have a sense of humour - everyone gets some aspect of them joked about).

Well, Angelica Bridges and Christina Hendricks are not too bad at looking at all!!

I never understood why people make fun of people with red hair.

I never understood why people are unable to get a joke, and instead turn it into some retarded political mudslinging crapfest. But there ya have it.

Trig, how am I supposed to detect your comments were just in a jovial fashion when i'm trying to make a semi-serious point.

And honestly, if you daughter is ginger, that's great, but you still won't know how it is to be a ginger man, the centre of a bullies interests for many years... Women get off a hell of a lot easier.

And calling people retarded makes things better does it? your way with words is eloquence personified.....

Ben, I presume you have a lack of Jason Manford in your life as that was something he said at the Apollo iirc. perhaps his DVD or a trip to youtube?

As for the whole gingerism thing, people will always get bullied be it hair, weight, colour, age, race, size and a hundred other things, the fact you are/were bullied over something that it is possible to "hide" (for want of a better word) with £10's worth of dye makes you lucky. As for me not knowing how it feels to be a ginger man, your right, but then again I'm guessing you dont get things like your lack of hair mentioned as I do, I really dont care, I dont see the point in being bothered by something that you cannot change, there are a lot more serious issues going on around us other than stupid christmas cards..

Trig you are obviously insensitive, and should "ginger up" so you can understand the persecution that they have to deal with on a daily basis.

I was bullied at school, but not because I was ginger, I was bullied for something that would of been a lot harder to change, so if I'm insensitive its because I was made this way by the people that bullied me.
