Do you get angry when called a ginger?

[Ghengis John]

Why on earth do they call redheads "gingers" anyhow?

THIS IS GINGER. THERE IS NOTHING RED ABOUT IT!

Not in the slightest. Not even if you squint.

As for me I have brown hair, like all good people. So I'm never called "ginger". However, redheaded girls can be quite lovely. (At this point any cute redheaded girls reading are welcomed to feel charmed.)

'Ginger' used to be a payout for us before it was merely a description. That's why it annoys me.

 

[Abedecain]

I am blond so I would give them a strange look!

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Don't give a shit like! Never really been called it though even though I am. Maybe it's because of my aura of awesome?

Yes.

Yep, I too have an "aura" of awesome. Though it is more likely the aura of my arm-hair and such. I never understood the whole "ginger thing" that people get on about.

ALSO: Screw these damn video captchas that make you watch an add, Escapist. Next time I get one I will not bother posting or contributing. Especially glaring is the fact my captcha is "Play Xbox Live". Yeah, give me random nonsense again please.

*glances up at brown hair* umm...no...

 

[William MacKay]

i do. because im not.

I'm browny-blonde, but people who A: Get insulted at being called gingers when it is not done hatefully and B: People who hatefully call others gingers don't rank high on my respect list anyhow.

It is like me being called blonde, or white, yes, I am, and? Or calling my best friend coloured, he is, and? So calling you (a person with reddish hair who I presume is reading this) a ginger, yes you are, and?

Really people need to stop being offended by everything and stop offending people because of everything.

 

[JasonBurnout16]

I do, as it's a great miscarriage of justice when I have blonde hair.

On topic there, I have a ginger friend and he hated it and wouldn't go anywhere without someone else through fear of bullying. He's got very low self confidence now because of the bullying having ginger hair caused him.

Plus Ginger girls are now considered hot here in England, so it doesn't really matter to me anymore

More north england or south?

Down south they still kinda get insulted up until after you're out of the education system

South England

Really? I personally had no problem towards the end of it all. Around year 10 people just seemed to stop bothering and then Hayley Williams did us all a massive favour and became famous around the time I began 6th form. All of a sudden I found Ginger was accepted.

Then for some unknown reason when I got to uni every other person thought red heads were hot.

You lucky lucky person.

It might just be that because I go to a poor university, you have all off those wonderful scum of the earth people there. They'll insult anyone if they get bored. Hell, I still get called emo :L I don't even like emos.

 

[standokan]

Yes, I have in fact been called a ginger for a week or so even though my hair colour is blond/brown.
