I'm ginger, and not particularly proud. Or unproud. I'm just ginger. It's not like I had anything to do with it, it isn't exactly an achievement.

I do have unnecessarily long hair, so maybe I am proud of it. I don't know. Still, it annoys me that it's fine to be anti-ginger, when ginger people have as much say in the matter of their gingertude as black people have in their blackness.

Be nice to gingers. We're the keepers of the peaceful neanderthal genes.

And as my sister is fond of saying: "Is it because I is ginger?".

You mean Ginger like the Spice Girls?
She was cool until she got ambitious and stuff. She caused team to dissolve. But before than she was cool.

What did you mean? *clueless*

Yes. In your own special way. *pats on knee reassuringly*

Ginger. Like with orange hair. Growing out of my head. And, places...

It means I have orangutan coloured hair.

You'll miss it when it's gone.

The patting, not the knee. Well, you would miss your knee, but hey, you could be a one-legged pirate... okay i'll shut up now.

*quietly pats his own knee in the corner*

If I remember correctly the band Splodgenessabounds once organised a tour of the UK in which all people with ginger hair were banned from all of the venues.

You see? this is just the kind of trivialisation and mockery my people have had to contend with for the last 45000 years or so, ever since clever clogs homo sapiens sapiens turned up with his vicious ways and "pointy stick" technology.
