Earlier this day, I was talking with a acquaintance about his hair color I told him it looks kind of "gingery-brown" he replied, asking if I just called him ginger. I nodded and asked if there was anything wrong with that and he hit me, only jokingly but still.
And last week, I was talking to a good friend of mine about how she recently dyed her hair black. I said it looked ginger, kidding obviously. And she got REALLY touchy about it. She was really pissed and I've never seen her so angry in the 3 years I've known her. Naturally, this suprised me and once again I asked if being ginger is a bad thing. She made a lot of threats and was bitter to me throughout the day.
Now I'm not ginger and don't ever plan to be but I'm very confused why people act so different towards them. I know they are in the minority but it's still weird... Almost all of the ginger girls I have met are pretty and, ironically, have nice hair, I'd go as far to say they are attractive. And also, they don't even act like it's mean how people discriminate them. As if it's right.
Now I want your thoughts, if you yourself are ginger then tell us and perhaps how it has affected your life. I have a feeling some people on CR do discriminate them too, you should tell is if you do.
(Oh and ginger is orange hair. LIKE THE BLEACH MAN!)
I like a man with a big ... vocabulary.

And one of my first real boyfriends was a proper redhead with freckles and greeney blue eyes and everything. God I thought he was gorgeous.
What if i don't want a custom title?

Maybe because they're angry they're ginger?

But I've never been called Ginger before, strangely enough. But I think I wouldn't be as insulted as I am when people assume I'm easy or pissed off all the time. Well I probably am pissed off a lot, especially when people make assumptions lol.

Granted, we had better things to do. Such as beat ourselves up over a ball, in order to seemingly carry it towards a goal. With no time outs ('cause time outs were the devil and we only had like 15 minutes for a game).

*is added to the group of people this is not familiar to*
over here people nearly instantly dislike you if you look very.... 'Un-Dutch' so to say and not to harm any races or groups of people... =/ suppose it depends on the area

If you disagree that it's offensive, then tell me why people who aren't even a single percent Celtic are offended by it.
Also, you have to look at it for what it really is. Before St. Patrick came along, we were raping, killing, and stealing from the Anglo-Saxons, one of the most dominant populations in history, just for fun. We bullied the champions. I guess that if you look closely, it still happens. I sort of bully around the football-playing rednecks for fun. They get on my nerves. Just saying that if the other races want to get into a superiority contest, they might want to just settle for every man (and woman) being equal. That's what I try to live by. Racist terms should only be used when kidding around or using them for a completely different meaning.

As to why the hell this opinion exists, I have no idea. It's just stupid. I got a lot of teasing at one point because after I dyed my hair bright red it faded to a gingerish brown (it was quite nice, actually.) and dying your hair ginger is basically social suicide XD
