Tiny parts of my beard (a few hairs here and there) actually grow red in colour. It's weird.

A redhaired kid in my grade in highschool got the shit payed out of him for years for being red haired, though I think there was more to it than that.

I can't imagine it ever goes beyond dumb schoolyard shitslinging though, certainly not into the bounds of real discrimination.

Well, I'm not one to fully believe in the words of abc news, so I'd like to see what folks in England say about this, and if it's really a problem or not.

When I was in England, the 'ginger' thing was actually kinda full on. Some of my female friends would talk to each other saying stuff like "Yeah, he's pretty cute, and he's got a good body and that, but I dunno, he's a ginger, so I don't think I could ever really be into him or anything."



It spun me out a bit.

it's pretty true, however it's just one of many prejudicial comments people make, no more common than fatty, skinny, asian (you won't believe how many people, most late 30s onwards who count anyone from thailand to china to india as just being 'asian' in a derogatory way) hispanic, black, white, anything really. people in this country are judged on looks by most. wrong? Yeah, but it happens, always has, and probably always will. there's way too many people doing it who have no intention of stopping.

I can attest to this. First-hand experience.

My take on... (various mixes planned, updated when I can be arsed)

England is a pretty weird place when it comes to picking on people. At it's simplest so as you simple folks can understand, everyone picks on everyone else with cruel, politically incorrect and utterly reprehensible behaviour.
Up until-
They start paying people out back in kind, in which case the banter continues until the end of time.
Or
Until someone cries, pouts and doesn't want to play any more, then it's serious business and they'll be teased until the end of time.
Or
They take the honourable way out by emigrating or killing themselves.

School was essentially the training ground.
The white inbred kids picked on me, the half-caste girl, I pick on the blacks, asians and orientals (such archaic terminology, but it's England which is a backwater swamp at the best of times), who in turn pick on the fat kids, well everyone picks on the fat kids, who pick on the skinny kids who pick on the irish who pick on the scots who pick on the welsh because they fight over who sleeps with the sheep, who in turn pick on the handicapped kids, who pick on the ginge's because they're just bad tempered little bastards and anyone can get a rise out of a ginge.
