In praise of redheads // Current

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/jan/24/gingerism-ginger-p...

'Carrot Top, Duracell, Period Head, Ginger Bollocks, Ginger Pubes, You Lanky String Of Ginger Piss' Why do so many seemingly decent people think gingism is perfectly acceptable?

They are bullied and heading for extinction. Simon Hattenstone (father of one redhead) asks whether gingerism remains the last acceptable prejudice?

- A form of discrimination that is considered racism by some. This form of racism is still acceptable by societies standards and is just as wrong as discrimination against Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Middle easterners. Unfortunatley not much is done to stop this. Red headed children are harrassed at school and even the work place is hostile for red heads.
