People call, bully and victimise people just because they are "ginger", using the word as a derogatory term, to make a minority group feel victimised. I mean you don't see the majority of people speaking to someone with such disrespect just because of the colour of their skin, so why should people be rudely spoken to and pinpointed just because of the colour of their hair..
Im fed up of this form of racism, and more so fed up of the media trying to glamourise calling people with "ginger" hair and making a joke out of it.
And don't start having a go at me for making a very serious point, I would be seen as some one with "ginger" hair and yes sometimes i do get abuse for the colour of my hair, and its something i could simply do with out as i dont deserve it..
put yourself in the situation of walking down the street, and for no reason but the colour of your hair some n*bb head decides to shout a derogatory term out to you..
what do you think?

and yeah its simple to say "oh just ignore them" or "see the funny side of it" when you get it through out your life, you can't keep retelling the same joke and expect to find it funny after the 100th time of hearing it..

I did not realize it was used in that way. I thought it was meant to be complementary. Personally, I tend to think red hair on women is attractive.

Lighten up a bit Ging. People get teased for all sorts of reasons; being bald, short, tall, fat, how they dress, how they walk, talk, eat and even breath!
The trick is to let it roll off your back for most of the time and stand up for yourself when it's appropriate. Be proud of who are and find confidence it that. Your true friends will love you for who you for being you. Cheers!

No because it's a hair color. If you don't like it you can change it.
You can't change the color of your skin.
