i'm pretty sure the whole thing about hating gingers is a joke.

[/quote]

the point I'm trying to make is that if people made the same jokes about any racial minority there'd be an uproar.
[/quote]

Other racial minorities (redheads aren't a race, by the way) have histories of discrimination and oppression that have left their mark on society. Also, society doesn't say it's okay to make fun of redheads, it just says that it's not okay to make fun of black people.

lol redheads are a race

[Dr. Zaius]

I'm in a band with two redheads and they get more action than me.

I'm pretty sure gingers can nerd up and deal w/ it.

[Didzo]

I'm pretty sure some people will make fun of whatever makes you stand out from most other people.

People are sort of dicks.

BTW, if someone has a spare redhead chick around, let me know.

Like if I told the joke: A black guy and a mexican are in a car, who's driving?

Answer: A cop



there'd be an uproar?

among people that you're not familiar with or are black/hispanic, I'd assume so.

[If-I-Die-Its-Lag]

I think not.

Christ, I even laugh at Asian jokes.

[zaneyard]

dude every single unique look, race, ethnicity, everything has a joke about them.

you're not special just because you have red hair.

the people that make fun of other people and are serious about it are douchebags. they aren't going to be any less of a douchebag if the said subject of the joke wasn't around.

[k0ala]

yes, the gingers episode of south park was making fun of it.

first: make up a racial epithet that suggests they're not even human (ginger is a description of an orange tom cat)
second: use this word at every opportunity so that even your opponents are calling them gingers
third: keep pushing it until someone gets hurt
fourth: claim "lolol it's just a joke, those people who were listening to us rag on gingers for three solid weeks were OBVIOUSLY unhinged. We're the GOOD kind of racists, because we act in what we believe their best interests to be. Not like we'd ask one of them, hoho."

[Geoff]

gingers = white people

making fun of gingers =/= racism

making fun of gingers = making fun of their appearance



if youre a ginger and are crying about being made fun of deal with it nerd im sure its pretty cool being white

crow, can you post on reddit about the withdrawal of troops and the expanded occupation of contractors? I have seen the pulling of troops being glorified everywhere without any mention of contractors and I think you need to speak up.

[Versus]

please don't ever post on reddit

[matter11]

please don't ever post on reddit

anywhere, whatever. It just unsettles me that the media is either hiding or ignorant of what crow said is happening.

Quick, someone tell CNN and Fox News that there are contractors replacing troops. Someone MUST inform the people!

media is hiding

Hi, this is America, where money trumps all, and media runs on money.

we have peanut butter


so why don't we have banana butter?

[KarthXLR]

we have peanut butter


so why don't we have banana butter?

Because Banana's are the worst fruit next to cherries.

[k0ala]

Because you should buy your fruit fresh and blend it yourself.
