And forced sterlisation will stop a random genetic mutation that can afflict anyone of caucassion descent no matter the hair colour of thier parents?

yes...with the help of

That kid looks like he's about to eat that model.

Kill all gingers at birth. it's the only way to stop this horrible plauge. LOL.

I have many good friends who are gingers. The difference is they don't have that look of desperate hunger for human flesh in their eyes.

I'm ginger, and I was bullied at school because of it.

Try replacing ginger in your wonderfully amusing posts with Irish or Jew and see how clever they look then.

You should be ashamed of yourselves. You're not 10-year-olds, why are you behaving as if you were?

And yet female redheads are just so damn desirable. The last ex before the wife was ginger and she was the sexiest thing I've ever taken a tumble in the hay with

Admittingly, that kid in the picture is kinda scary. But I really don't see what everyone has against red heads. There was a girl in my class who was a ginger, and she was pretty hot. Kinda lost a little bit of it when she dyed her hair brown though.

It was a beautiful orange....

Damn straight. Though I prefer anything not blonde, to tell the truth.

What's really odd is the way people will think any jokes over a genetic trait is exactly the same as racism.

What did I say that suggested that I thought the original poster was being racist?

This thread is getting very dull. Will people please just post some pictures of Alyson Hannigan already!

Lol you wish Manchu, I lost it in the womb.


But seriously lets see some blondes. <3

Lol, but in a sad way--what the Germans call "schadenfreude." Speaking of Freud, get help soon my Canadian friend.

I don't speak German.

I do however speak Norwegian. Hvordan der buskapen går kveld?

But... in all honesty Manchu I don't think I could be fixed, even with the best therapists/rooms with pillows for walls.

My mind's broke. Thank you for the concern though.

Fair enough, not racist then. Simply not-PC. Whatever. It’s silly to think ginger teasing is anything but a silly bit of fun.

If someone is getting genuinely tormented for ginger hair, that’s obviously not cool, but almost all ginger jokes are funny because they’re very silly, because people obviously don’t’ have any problems with gingers.

This. But, you know, nevermind actually. Leave all those gorgeous, befreckled redheads to the gentlemen.

Joking aside. One of my best mates is of the red headed-complexion.

We get a real kick out of ginger and blonde jokes, and the sad thing is OTHER people get offened.

We just laugh, hysterically.

I'd like to believe the winky-face makes this a joke. But I've read a lot of mattyrm's other posts . . .

Thing is, mattyrm's other posts include a lot of racially dubious statements, but even still it was obvious he was joking. Because gingers aren't actually oppressed, and everyone knows that, which is why the jokes work.

Yes the jokes work Sebster
To see how they work cf KK's post

Kilkrazy's bullies were ignorant school children... and a large majority of these jokes are actually quite funny, without being overbearingly offensive.

...

Go ahead... compare the 'plight' of redheads, to that of any substantially concentrated minority that has experienced oppression. By all means.

I have red-headed family members... or something.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookism

And stuff, too.

And more stuff.

Woah... NO WAY. More stuff.

Redheads — who make up about 1 percent of the population worldwide and are becoming rarer,

Apparently they haven't asked my 3 cousin that are breeding like rabbits.

If you read the article like a joke, that was the punch-line. It is funny either way though. Interesting too.

Anyway, though... AWWWW, the cuteness BURNS!

One of the hottest Gingers around... Poison Ivy from the Cramps and she swings a vintage 1958 Gretch Chet Atkins 6120. Hard to top a redhead that can rock.

Yeah i irrationally dislike muslims, not ginger people. The whole point of it is entirely that ginger is nothing serious, and everyone knows a ginger person or has a ginger relative or friend. Its purely harmless fun isnt it? Ive been out with several ginger birds for example, and its just good harmless fun whenever i toss a lighthearted quip in their direction. They did all smell oddly like fox piss though now i think about it..... :-)

No it isn't harmless fun
Simply a cop out to justify a senseless and insesitive harrying of people with a different complexion.

No is is saying it is the same as racism. The point is that supposed adults are behaving like 10 year old bullies. Why? If that is the level of your humour as an adult then there is something wrong.

Again I would like to know what is the reason is for this expression of revulsion of redheads?
Why do you need to target anyone on the grounds of skin pigmentation? To score cheap laughs??

'Fox-piss'!


Brilliant.

Anyway, there are some seriously po-faced people posting on this thread. Yes, taking the piss out of gingers is childish (as is playing with toy-soldiers etc. etc.... ), but RACIST?


Do behave.

@sebster: your appraisal of KK's point is diasppointing. making fun of people because of skin and hair color is only objectionable after they're oppressed? isn't that the road to oppression? not trying to make this more serious than it is but that's kind of a poor argument.

@albatross: Agreed that playing with toy soldiers is childish but I never heard that it makes other people (even oversensitive ones) feel like gak. Again, not saying this thread will lead to the ginger holocaaust or anything. It's just a puzzlingly bad joke.

There are, of course, two sides to the story...
