Prejudice against red-haired people
Red-haired family forced to move after ‘ginger’ hate campaign
People are such scum. I always though red hair was real neat. My wife has red hair and people are always complimenting her on it.
The idea of teasing people for having red hair is weird enough, but actually bullying them? What the smeg is wrong with people?!
A family are being forced out of their home by a gang of thugs because of their red hair.
Kevin and Barbara Chapman say they and their four young children have already moved twice to avoid the taunts but at each address have been subjected to attacks.
Their windows have been smashed, the walls daubed with graffiti and their children physically assaulted in the street by other youths.
“There seem to be around ten or 12 families who have relations in the different areas we have been,” said Mr Chapman. “Word seems to get around and it starts again.”
The children have changed schools three times in the last two years. “Every time we make new friends we end up getting bullied whenever we leave the house,” said Ryelle.
Okay, I do tease my wife about her hair in one area. When I see another red-haired person, I ask if she knows him/her. See, cause all red-haired people know each other! It’s actually more an anti-tease.
What’s scary is if you read the comments to that dailymail.co.uk article, some people aren’t even appalled.
Surely, if it’s as bad as the article makes out they could dye their hair?
They shouldn’t have to. People should just not be so worthless.
Unfortunately, most people do not like ginger hair. ‘In the olden days’ folk were too polite to say anything but nowadays children are not so nice, so it turns to bullying. Shame.
Most people don’t like ginger hair. Wow. Glad I don’t live there.
If this family are well behaved then this is disgraceful…
Goes on to express sympathy, but notice the weasel wording. I think it’s bad to paint “gingers are gay” on someone’s house even if they aren’t well behaved.
