Racist troll secret.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah yes, the race of 'redheads'.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, redheads face no prejudice.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
DA - honestly, sincerely, no bullshit: where do you live that redheads face prejudice? Actual prejudice, not just very, very tired jokes about how 'gingers have no souls lololol'? Housing discrimination, lower employability, higher rates of conviction - any of that?

Redheads are "more likely to be bullied", a researcher has claimed. [...] Psychology undergraduate Kevin O'Regan [...] who has red hair
Off to a good start.

Okay, so reading the article, there are none of the things I actually asked about, but a lot of 'One person said someone was mean to them', which... I don't know if you've interacted with other human beings lately, but there's a lot of dickheads out there.
Also, for this study to actually mean anything, they'd need to compare it to people being bullied over their race, weight, gender, sexuality, religion, disability, or physical deformity. You see, in a shocking twist, most people get bullied in school; and most people who've spent time in pubs have had a random drunk shout bullshit at them. It's not particularly special, even if they're shouting 'Up yours ginger' instead of 'Up yours n*****'.
Oh, but not to diminish their suffering! I'm sure that African-American 10-year-old girl who got shot in the face when the police who'd just kicked down her door thought her Wii controller was a gun would be very sympathetic! :)

That is more of the same. Bullying. Even that first one didn't actually look like he was targeted for being redheaded. Some assholes said something to his GF, had he ignored them, they would have done nothing to him.

So now we’re victim blaming too.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-02 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
If you want some people to agree with you, I can direct you to some subreddits? the_donald will be really happy to chat with you about how oppressed white people are.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-02 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
What next, are you going to say gay people or Jewish people aren’t oppressed if they’re white?

How are redheads a race? What race are they?

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
They're people, ffs.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
But the person said "racist". Redheads are not a race.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
What?

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Except that it's true, so...

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Black people are overrepresented too, using that logic.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Are they if you take in world populations?

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
In western media,

(Anonymous) 2019-11-02 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
white people make up 3/4th of the US. I would be very, very, VERY surprised if they made up less than 3/4ths of mainstream media.

If we want to get even more exact, only a third of California is "non-Hispanic white". Only half of New York City is white. But look at your media! White people, white people, endless oceans of white people - with a black friend to make sassy comments, and a Latino maid to walk by in the background occasionally!

(Anonymous) 2019-11-02 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
But there are less black people, so they don’t need representation.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-02 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
...okay, you're gonna have to turn that one into an actual sentence because I cannot work out what you're trying to say there

(Anonymous) 2019-11-02 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
That’s what the argument is for why it’s okay to erase redheads.

(Anonymous) 2019-11-02 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
This assumes people are just going to agree with your claim that black people are overrepresented in media. I disagree.
