Ginger people - why the abuse?

[Happy82]

What are the origins of the abuse of ginger people? Is there a reason that red hair is mocked and seen as amusing? Is it purely a British thing, or do ginger people suffer the hair related abuse all over the world?

Was just curious as people are not mocked for having dark hair, so why pick on those with ginger hair?

You are a dying breed

I'm not doing a custard test with my pubes to show I'm not a ginger you perve!

Was thinking about this the other day regarding women. I love red hair as long as it's dark red. Light red not so much so.

I think it's poor form to laugh at a Ginner....anyway

Q: What do you call a redhead with large breasts?
A: A mutant.

[Disco You]

I never understood it either.

I was going to say it's a British thing. But a certain South Park episode makes me think otherwise.

[Chapppers]

I don't know what it is really, I know loads of really nice ginger people.


Once you get over the smell of piss and that dead, soulless glaze in their eyes, they're really just like normals.

[dmulally]

We dont call people with red hair "gingers" in Australia.

Ranga is acceptable.

Take this guy-



It's hard to like someone like that.

All good to me.

I love redeheads and the abuse they get annoys me greatly.

I started a similar thread on here years ago and got a tonne of grief.

Amazingly you can't talk about features of particular races or certain people who like to live in caravans but you can say whatever you want about people with ginger hair.

[oldcynic]

Jealousy.

People pay serious money to dye their hair ginger(ish). It never looks as good as a natural ginger.

[VinceFox]

Good ginger...
