Ginger racism or 'anti-gingerism' as it's sometimes known, not a modern phenomenon by any means. In the future will we all look back at the shocking ways in which society singled the ginger community out for verbal and physical abuse. Will the words 'ginger-nuts', 'cornflake', 'Fanta pants', 'fire-crotch', 'carrot top' and so on come to be as offensive and taboo as the terms 'nigger', 'abo', 'spic',  or 'coon' in years to come? It is deemed okay or acceptable to call a person with ginger hair any of the former terms but if you used one of the latter terms to address anyone you'd be in big trouble.

Some people attribute anti ginger sentiment to the fact that Judas Iscariot supposedly had red hair, what do you think ...why do red heads get such a hard time from childhood through to adulthood?

To mods: I considered putting this in the Junk drawer but it could promote some serious responses here in the D&ST section. I'm interested in hearing people's views, especially self confessed ginger bashers.

Shut up firepubes!!!

Its tongue-in-cheek, nobody actually hates gingas, just hassling them is fashionable at the moment.

I have never seen anything like that. At least not seriously. I live in Florida and there is an occasional joke about  staying out of the sun. The term carrot top also confused me, aren't the tops of carrots green?

I'm sorry, I'm still giggling at "fanta-pants". I've never heard that one before.

Me, I dig redheads. Granted, most of the women I know, their hair is a color red that does not naturally occur in humans, but I stand by the digging redheads thing. Probably because I think freckles iz cute.

Wish I'd thought of that when they were beating me with sticks in the playground! ...I think it implies that the ginger person has a top (head/hair) like a carrot.

When you're a redhead in a Latin country the laydees don't feel that way!

It would seem it's been fashionable for the last 25 years at least! They probably thought it was fashionable to call black people names back in the day too.

My brother's a redhead.  He experienced a lot of teasing, but he became really good at reversing the ridicule on people -- not to mention the fact that he beat up a lot of the people that picked on him.  He's not a violent guy by nature, but he is good at fighting.  "Fighting Irish", I suppose?...

I am waiting for someone to post the South Park Ginger kids episode. Am I the only one who noticed that the same letters in gingers spell something else? Not my personal stance of course.

Cartman argues that "Gingers"—those with red hair, freckles, and pale skin —are creepy and evil. They suffer from "gingervitis" and their light skin comes from a lack of soul.
SP episode is titled "Ginger Kids"

Anywho, I'd say they get teased and such mainly because they stand out and are "different." Maybe people really do hate Gingers, maybe they just do it because it's "fashionable." I'm not quite sure about why people do it.

I myself have no problems with Gingers.

Holy crap! Right after I read that, I was trying to figure out what word could be made. Probably coincidence if anything.

The French sometimes refer to ginger people as Albinos! I heard the term used in the film 'Betty Blue' directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix in reference to a character who was just a normal red head! They reckon as it's a recessive gene that it will be phased out completely in the not too distant future; we'll only be found in the Natural History Museum, a bit like the native Americans!
