Church discriminates against "gingers"

Discrimination against British 'gingers' has them seeing red

Classic British playground taunts such as "tut-tut ginger nut, where d'ya get your hair cut?" have evolved in recent years into more nasty matters.

Poor Prince Harry. Not only is he unlikely to become king, he's a 'ginger.'

"Discrimination against redheads seems to be getting worse and worse," said Simon Cheetham, founder of Red and Proud, a Web site that seeks to counter discrimination against redheads — called "gingers" here — by honoring those with flaming tresses.

"In this politically correct world you can't say anything about people's religion or sexuality but it's still OK here in Britain to portray redheads in a negative manner," he said.

In the United States, an estimated 2 percent to 5 percent of people are born with red hair.

Because the gene that causes red hair is recessive, researchers say it is diluted whenever carriers have a baby with someone who has the stronger brown hair gene.

Owen O'Neill, a red-haired British comedian, hosted a BBC documentary in May called "The Ginger Gene" that encouraged more redheads to have children.

O'Neill said he loved being a ginger although he admitted that people on the street sometimes yell out "Oi, Ginger!" whenever they see his red hair.

In general, the disdain for redheads in Britain is often so great that — besides a baby's sex and weight — the first question new parents are asked is if their baby is a ginger.

British model Katie Price, who goes by the one-word name Jordan here, caused a stir earlier this month when she said of her new red-haired daughter Princess Tiaamii: "I love her anyway, even if she is a ginga."

Debbie Sparey, a London mother of a red-haired daughter, said people may treat redheads differently simply because they stand out.

"I think it's purely the fact that they look different with their freckles and pale skin," Sparey said. "The interesting point is that it is generally the younger generation who will mock redheads while most older people tend to think they are lovely."

The discrimination against redheads -- also known as "rangas" and "gingers" -- is getting chronic to the point that they cannot walk out into the streets without being taunted, and some have resorted to hair dye to try to avoid being made fun of, and in some cases, verbally and physically attacked.

This is an outrage which must be stopped!





And even the CHURCH was in on this persecution of redheads!

In the middle ages, when the Church was conducting its hunts for witches, vampires and werewolves, red hair was thought to symbolise the presence of the DEVIL.

When even the Church turns on people for simply having a recessive gene, it becomes clear that there is a serious problem with society and its tolerance.

i am ginger but dont really get much abuse from it, gingers in general in my school dont get bullied like that. I get my friends making little quips but i don't mind that because i know they joke but i have never really seen anyone bullied for their hair colour any more. I think that as our society gets more and more multinational and have much more varied things at people are moving on from bullying red heads.

LMAO!!

Seriously who cares if you've got red hair people it's only a colour!!

However there is somthing strangly satisfying about calling a redhead a "Ranga" or a "Ginger Ninja".

I acually work with a Natural Ginger but she dyes her hair black but i still call her a ranga cause her regrowth is ginger.

seriosuly making a protest website about discrimination for gingers

We need to work toward eliminating red headed people from the planet. They are nasty, vile Neanderthals that control all of the banks and therefore are in possession of the world's money supply. Gone are the days when we could ship them all to an island in order to mine resources, so we really need to settle on some sort of Final Solution, if you will.

[Joe]

Approves.

In all seriousness, I actually find stuff like this Hilariously epic. I gotta agree with Yoo-Hoo, but I don't think that we should eliminate All redheads, who would we ridicule then? I vote Brown Haired people. So freakin' common, man, something's gotta be done.

[Unknown Entity]

ROFLFAO!

Because of a hair colour? Thats just stupid for flips sake!

lol i dont mind being called teh ginger ninja or carrot top cus i think its funny. People who take offence to that are really uptight and need to chill

Too right lad! I think Ginger Ninja actually sounds kinda cool. These name callers sure need to come up with something better.

If you do, you've lost me, Raider, Oceaneyes and just about every other redhead on this site.

... Btw, do all gingers have freckles? That can't be true... can it?

[Raider]

Most gingers have freckles because they have fair skins and need the protection hence why you never see naturally ginger black people.

... Btw, do all gingers have freckles? That can't be true... can it?

The Gingers who Don't have freckles are called "daywalkers" and they need much less protection from sunlight than your average ginger. This makes them twice as dangerous and all the more likely to spread their ginger-ness to the rest of mankind.

Hah. Interesting thread topic, seeing as the creator is a red-head herself. >_>
Isn't that right, Lily? >_>;

*cough* (Disappointed in you making a new account. (Either that, or you're someone framing Lily, Rocco, and James/Craven.))

First off, IP ban OP for secondary trolling account. For next time, if you're going to be garbage, please be garbage the right way kk? Make a funny account name, like Sw1zzzzzyBeatZ or TipTopAntEater or something good, then at least get an IP proxy. Even my 15 year old brother knows how to bypass that, and his intelligence is questionable at best.

Second, Raider's post quality is at a C-, with demerits handed out specifically to bad grammar with words that are important to his post and his lack of capitalization where due. Let's work on that a little better next time buddy.

Third, James and Joe are absolutely right. Even though James believes that redheads are controlling the banks, which is false because the jews are instead, the redheads are the greatest entity of evil yet, and they must be dealt with at all costs.

Fourthly, Gemma I'm not sure if you realize this or not but Yoo-hoo is actually a redhead as well, which means he wishes to eliminate himself from society. Whether this is a splendid idea or not can be left up to the reader to decide.

And lastly, Sheena if you're gonna go all guns blazing John Wayne-style on the original poster, you better be damn sure that you're right. Otherwise you're fired, and I replace your mod position with Fate.

PS: I hate you all. Have a great day.

News Update: Rangas have taken over TFF via covert means.
In side news, Rocky hates us all and the weather is fair.

Also, thread locked for excessive finger-pointing.
It can only devolve into trolling from this point forward.
STAFF MEMBERS should keep their speculations to themselves (i.e. the staff forum).
