First, I would like to say that I AM ginger and don't mind being called it.

I was hearing all these stories about all these people who didn't like being called the name (sorry no link) and I was wondering what the people's, ginger or not, opinion about this pigmented problem was.

Gingers DO NOT have souls.

I don't care, except most of the ones I know are annoying and obnoxious.

I'm probably missing something, but I don't see why we should fuss over something's hair color being red.

I don't have red hair but my little brother does. Supposedly, the red headed population is going to sky-rocket in the next few decades though.

It's all about bad PR.

Gingers have this image.

When with a bit of PR work they could have this image.

MMMM redheads...Oh sorry (That kind of preference stays off of here)

Well. Gingers don't have souls. They are usually d-bags. Need I say more? I can't say they also tend to be Jewish. Isn't that only Kyle from South Park and whats his name from (Mort or something) Family Guy?

Are you really using those as references for 'roof'?! Those shows are fictional and animated.

I do have red hair by the way. And i'm sick of idiots thinking they are clever for generalizations and stereotypes.

I guess there is two things to say about this:
First of all, I assume this is just a stupid a stereotype as the blonde one, but if people keep it up, it might as well become truth.
Which leads to the second point: If you were being bullied with your hair colour of all things, wouldn't you behave more rashly around others, to prevent it will happen again?

Besides, people tend to only remember the negative about stuff.

wow this is really horibble. in the end any type of hair, skin colour etc. will have a sterotype. what is wrong with this world. i usually dont complain alot but if it will keep going like that the only person that you wont have a stereotyped thought about will be yourself. actually that mind change too. personality has nothing to do with someone hair colour, skin colour or religion

Human nature. We are programmed to think in boxes.
Thus, you would actually have a stereotype about yourself as well, because you too "fit" into a certain box with your friends and family.
