Csaba's Broon Shoes Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Gingerism is discrimination in every sense and racial . The abreviation of ginger is ? well i wil not type it . PC world we live in nowadays so , you can't have it both ways without the other if you get my meaning . It's alright for a Scottish person to call a red head ginger , but not alright for a Scottish person to call a black person , the abreviated word of ginger . fat burds just smell of granton harbour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Harris Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I was accused of being a racist by a mate after slagging him off for being ginger the other day. Surely this isn't racism, is it? ginger hair is a trait that is found almost exclusively in north europeans. So your friend might have a point! In all seriousness, I would say Ginger hair was a racial trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaby Ewing Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I was in far eastern Turkey (Kurdistan) last year where they have a surprisingly number of gingers. The first one I spotted was a wee kid riding along the pavement on his bike... who was subsequently thwacked round the back of the noggin by an older kid with a tennis racquet. It gave me a warm glow to know that wherever you go in the world, we're all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Serious answer: in an argument, if you resort to commenting upon someone's appearance in an effort to knock them off their stride, I'd assume it's something-ist. Therefore, I'd assume that picking on the ginger attribute is no less an -ist than picking on them 'cos of their skin colour. That said - 'racist' usually refers to blanket prejudice against brothers due to the colour of their skin so 'gingerist' would only apply if you had a universal downer on all gingers. So, wouldya?: I'm joking. Try this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Some fun facts for gingers here... although i have cherry-picked. People with red hair are more susceptible to pain, according to doctors. Research carried out in the US suggested that redheads need 20% more anaesthesia than people with other hair colour. A recent DNA study has concluded that some Neanderthals had red hair. Harvard dermatologist Madhu Pathak calls redheads "three-time losers" because their red pigment is an inadequate filter of sunlight and their skin is more susceptible to sunburn, skin cancer and wrinkling with age. In France, to be redheaded is thought to be a fate so dire that some women have formed a Proud to be Red association. In Corsica , if you pass one in the street you spit and turn around. Redheads have been thought untrustworthy. As a 17th-century Frenchman observed, "Judas, it is said, was red-haired." Ginger superstitions include… “red hair is unlucky”, ... “bees sting redheads more often”. The Egyptians regarded the colour as so unlucky that they had a ceremony in which they burned red-headed maidens alive to wipe out the tint, says author Claudie De Lys.
