Members sabrex Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have noticed a trend of people making fun of "gingers" (red haired) people. One such reference was about a dating site where women discriminated against men because of height or ginger hair. Is this universally decided to be a bad trait? Does this stem from a pop culture event? (Maybe carrot top? Or kathy griffin?) When did they start calling them gingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chezdon Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 When there started being gingers. rofl. Well 20 years ago when I started school, there was a ginger kid who was picked on because he was ginger. So at least 20 years ago... I really don't know why a 4 year old would feel having ginger hair is a weakness though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerEvil Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have heard it for ages. Hell even in a Harry Potter movie. Maybe it's a British thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know why a 4 year old would feel having ginger hair is a weakness though. ..I'm sure it goes back much further than that....since I started school over 30 years ago and no-one like the smelly ginge then either It's because they're really fairy folk in human disguise...not human at all...or human/fairy offspring which are largely an abomination.

Members olgluefoot Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 Bright red hair and huge giraffe like freckles. Its the only reason you need. I say there has been some dislike since they began breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bowe Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have heard it for ages. Hell even in a Harry Potter movie. Maybe it's a British thing. probably because the Scottish have the largest % of gingers in the world anything to take a shot at the Scottish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Turner Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 It probably goes back to mid evil England when they first took over Scotland. They saw the Scots as savages and felt they were below the English. And what the trademark look of a Scot? Red hair, pale skin, and freckles. I'm sure they felt the same way about the Irish and Scandinavians (vikings, which is where the Scot and Irish get it from)). That's my best guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members panther_king Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 The use of the term 'ginger' as a pop culture reference has been around since at least this: However, whether Gilligan's Island started the term, or perpetuated it, I don't know.

Members SGRocker30 Posted February 15, 2010 Members Share Posted February 15, 2010 I don't know about you guys, but I've banged a whole bunch of redheads, and they are the best. I think this anti ginger bias is nonsense. There is nothing better than sinking your member into a 17 year old "ginger" except maybe playing a 57 les paul.
