Of course you redheads all look alike. Blank and soulless.

Is it a US thing? oO

Yes. It started, as far as I know, as a joke on South Park. I don't watch the show because I can't stand it, but I know some secondhand because some terrible people don't understand that those are *jokes* in an *animated* show, and that none of the characters should really be emulated in real life.

Basically, there was an episode where Cartman (I think) declares that gingers are evil and soulless. I'm not even going to pretend to know what actually happens in the episode, but suffice to say it's a cultural in-joke now. That wouldn't be so bad if it were treated fully as a joke, but things like 'Kick a Ginger Day' are actual things now, and horrible people use them as an excuse to bully and harass gingers. The first I heard of this was my brother in a towering rage because people were just walking up and kicking his friends (all three of his best friends were redheads) out of nowhere one day. Most were just tapping them, which the gingers took with impressive good grace, but some others were out to cause damage. My brother dealt with this by recruiting rugby buddies to follow any ginger they could find around the school as bodyguards.

Yes, I am unreasonable about this. Treated properly as the joke it is, I can roll my eyes and roll with it, but kids have been hospitalized over this. No one should need a bodyguard to walk them between math and chem, and bullying in any form is a hot-button for me.

I think even as a joke it's not right. Especially done to kids.
I'm happy the rugby team helped some redheads. <3

btw, I'd stumbled on the Paris Hilton South Park ep. and hated it ever since.

It's a UK thing.

I've heard Tim Minchin's Only a Ginger Can Call Another Ginger 'Ginger' so I guess, yeah...
