On the (original) subject of redheads, I can say I've never felt any prejudice towards them, of either gender. My mom had red hair so I could very well have ended up one myself.

On the (not original but much more fun) subject of redheads:

Red head guys are weirdos. Freaks, IMO.

For those of you that don't know.... Audrey Hollander. The most attractive adult film star ever(NSFW)

I see Audrey Hollander and raise you Ariel A (who coincidentally is in the pic above me), who is nude model (obviously NSFW but some people here are morons)

But yeah, red headed women are hot as feth cuz.

Gingers are hilarious, and I feel no thread on these carrot tops is complete without

This is why I'm afraid of redheads.



Also this.

This is dumb, and you should feel bad.

You are quoting out of context.

If are trying to infer that I have any racist tendencies then you are way out of line.

I suggest you re read my post.
I only feel bad about the amount of derisive drivel some people have to put up with because of a genetic trait; whetrher that be the colour of their skin, the colour of their hair, or their gender.

I suggest if you lack the wit to grasp the content of the comment you should refrain from passing judgement.

Is he wearing pants?

No. No it isn't wearing pants.

Everyone one knows - Gingers smell of cabbage.

Bu... but I like cabbage...

LOL.

In AUS, we are genetically pre-disposed to ginger hair... well, dependent upon background, but there is always at least ONE in the playground.

I also remember on friend saying that he would beat another kid "like a red-headed step-child".

Where does this originate?

The prejudice surrounding step-parents hating their step-children because they aren't their own + the prejudice surrounding ginger kids.

Aside from the odd light hearted joke I've never seen any sort of prejudice against red-heads. And in my experience blonds seem to cop more flak in the joke area anyway.

Really?

"Fanta Pants" made it into the Macqarie Dictionary...

Being a proud Ginger, I've been bullied, for that is what it is outside of your friendship circle, nearly my entire life.

It's interesting to note, it's not merely a recent thing, as the southpark crwod would like you to believe.

If you look to a lot of folklore - red headed people are often of supernatural, evil and godscursed firgures, from werewolves, vampires, ghouls and other myths, it's quite surprising how many in fact - So it's got it's basis in ancient believes.

Now I've got the archetypal passion and short temper and I used to get into a lot of scraps as nipper due to it - was called Mossop the riddler (UK kids tv program) while at school - as an adult, I take it in my stride, but as a fiery teenager, I confronted it daily.

/shrug - I always used to joke that if you called a blonde a bimbo in the work place etc, you'd get slapped hard by HR, but ginger's a re fair game, the last acceptable bigotted viewpoint

Really. We only had one guy with red hair in my final year of school. It was never an issue.

Bimbo isn't restricted to blonds. It's more of a gender issue than an issue of discriminating via hair colour.

I think we've come down a few steps from burning them a birth.

People need to stop crying about dumb @#$% like this (like you did Earthbeard - take a bully down and the rest pay attention).

"Ginger!" Ohhhhh...my widdle feewwings....

This is like going to HR because someone said you were short. Are you short? OK then. Pointing out the obvious is neither a particularly good insult, nor particularly good reason to take offense.

"Ginger! Get him!" That's a bit different...but outside of a schoolyard or a Southpark episode...I don't see it being a global epidemic.

There are better causes to take up defense of. Besides, everyone knows that redheads have insane tempers and will fly into a berzerk rage and kill you if you tease them too much. Or look at them funny. Or if it's a full moon on a Tuesday. Or if the Dow-Jones drops 3.17 points. Or... >;-P

By that logic, if someone used the N-word because your black, it would be just as ridiculous; Are you black? Ok then.

If you are mentally slow, and get called "Special"? Too bad, buck up and get over it.



The fact of the matter is is that your making fun of something someone can't change, naturally.

Ah...no. Calling a short person short is stating the obvious. Calling them a midget or dwarf or half-pint is manifestly more in the vein of attempting to insult.

Calling a black person black (by the way, you've no idea my stature or color) is not an insult. Using the n-word, is. Obviously.

What is your argument, exactly?

We have already had the 'slow' thread...

Please do not begin this arguement... again.

Take it as a badge of honour and wear it proudly

Disappointed with the lack of rela red headed wemen in the pictures, fake red is okay, but the real deal is nicer

We do have a ginger illuminati you know

I do not know your stature or color. But your arguement is terrible.

The N-word isn't offensive. If it was, why would about 50% or more of blacks use it if they were offended by it? Fact is, the N word would have basically died out of the language (Barring the inevitable racists) if it wasn't for Gangsta Blacks saying "Yo N, what's up N, how about we go pop a cap in dat N's ass?"

It's all about how that person takes it, not what you mean it as. Ginger by itself isn't an insult, no, but being called it often enough with whoever having a sneer in their voice certainly is.

That is my argument, exactly.

Ah...yes, the N-paradox, also known as the "our word" problem. It's not just about how you mean it, it's about the color of the person saying it. This is also known as...discrimination. Neat!

I agree with you that offense most often lies with the offended. In fact, that has been my point this whole thread: don't be offended, and people will stop trying to offend you! Or, at least, don't let on that you are bothered - and they will stop trying to bother you. The net effect is the same. Some donkey hat doesn't get his kicks off of you.

So, my follow up question is - why are we disagreeing? We actually seem to have the same goal.

Because I disagree with your methods.

You seem to get some sort of pleasure from mocking others and finding the most facile excuse to defend it.
For the individual that is being victimised it is a cause worth defending. You seem only to wish to defend your pathetic self justification at mocking and belittling others.
Am sorry for you that the only way you can feel good about yourself is by making others appear ridiculous to your mind.

This constant sniping at people that find such behaviour offensive is getting very tedious.

Use of retaliatory violence is not available to all and sundry. You may find Earthbound herioc, but how is my autistic nephew "to pay attention and take a bully down."
This machismo swaggering is idiotic and short sighted.
