You know, throwing the pejorative around like that probably doesn't help the stigma. Try a term like redheads. It's kinda like calling obese people "fatties" when talking about the subject.RadioactiveTurtle said:Hello, escapist. Once again, I've come to ask of your humble opinions and to gain insight on a simple topic. Where I live, gingers have a social Stigma attached to them, they get bullied in school, at work and in public for no reason other than being ginger. Apart from this, I've seen men turn down women and women turn down men, simply for being ginger (well, that may not be the ONLY reason, but in most cases they were the reasons given.)
The poll asks a simple question, but feel free in your replies to discuss any feelings, opinions, or experiences of gingers being discriminated against because of their hair colour.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that these two things are what made someone unattractive. What I meant to say is a "ginger" is someone who is generally seen as unattractive and ALSO happens to have freckles, red hair, and pail skin.Rodrigo Girao said:Just like red hair, freckles can be a turn-off for some, and incredibly charming for others.Wickerton said:"Ginger" is usually slang for unattractive red heads with fair skin and freckles (the freckles are an important part of being a "ginger").
