888138 2010-05-27 06:53:00 I cant believe Close Up voting on whether or not the hug a ginga day results.....WTF would somebody who wasnt a ginga know about how harmful the joke was.....What percentage of the 62% were actually redheads....Might as well asked everybody if nigger is an offensive word to black people.!

You people with the victim mentality are sure persistent, but feel free to go get psychological counselling on ACC if it is causing you such pain. Otherwise harden up, a joke itself can't actually harm you.

888139 2010-05-27 19:09:00 Entertainment at somebodies expense would be in the form of "Kick a ginga day" which was on Facebook back in 2008, started up by a 14yr old. Had something like that occurred, then yes, sure, the father has something to get worked up over.

*Hug* a ginga though, is another matter entirely.

As Dom points out some kids get picked on at school regardless of their hair color, and picking on redheads is a trait that diminishes once you leave school.

In fact, I believe that in some parts of the world there's a national day in August or September dedicated to the celebration of readheads.

This isn't about picking on red headed kids by any stretch of the imagination. I'm the sibbling of 3 (50% of us kids managed to get it, not me), and they're lapping up the day, going to milk it for all it's worth :D

Are you saying Chill, that one of your siblings is two tone?

It's not a problem in society at large, but ginga teasing DOES happen in schools by immature kids.

Really it (hug a ginga day) is a big joke and it doesn't offend me in the slightest, nor can I see it causing any harm.

I have a lecture at 2.10. We'll see how many hugs (if any) I get on the way. Not counting my girlfriend who will be in the lecture :p

I don't know any of them personally so I don't know.
