Redhead should be forced to handle all the manual labour in this world. You should be able to buy redheads to work on your farm or plantation. You should get some for inside work and some for outside work. You can have House Gingers and Field Gingers.

Redheads would be just about the worst choice for field work. They’d all get sunstroke and die.
What’s next? A suggestion that all albinos should be lifeguards?

Yep, its perfectly acceptable to go on British TV and make jokes at the expense of Gingers.
I distinctly remember Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall being described as a “Ginger Shithead” on live TV. Now, supposing they were discussing, I dunno, Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters. Would they be allowed to refer to him as a Gay Shithead, or any other such term?
Maybe you think I’ve got my calvins in a knot here, but dammit, I’ve put up with shit like this since me arse was the size of a shirtbutton, as we say here.

You know, the only time I’ve ever heard the word “ginger” from British TV was back on Monty Python in the “Biggles Dictates a Letter” sketch and it didn’t even have anything to do with redheads.
Redheaded men are almost always ugly. Particularly the ones with the creepy invisible eyebrows and eyelashes. :: shudder :: Just my opinion, though. Obviously some perverts are actually into that sort of thing.
Oddly enough, I really don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman with those creepy invisible eyebrows. Redheaded women are often quite attractive.

It helps that red headed wonen have the socially approved option of using eye brow pencil. Makes a huge difference…

My Dad (deceased) was a redheaded Irish-American with green eyes and visible eyebrows. He was tall, slender and handsome. He was disappointed when my brother turned out very blond and I, a dark-haired brunette. Both my bro and I have brown eyes that turn hazel upon occasion. Our Mom was 100% Croatian-American.
I worked in Malaysia for a year, primarily with Chinese-Malay cow-orkers. Our IT Manager confided that the first time he saw someone with freckles, as an exchange student in St. Louis, he regarded the guy as one of the ‘spotted people.’ It was a hideous sight to him, and as it turned out, was the same to the rest of those I worked with who had encountered ‘spotted people.’
My moment of comparable weirdness was when working for the same American company in a medium-sized town in England. I was at a round table discussion and while speaking, looked up to see all the pale blue eyes focused on me. I truly understood what the Chinese meant when they spoke of ‘ghost people.’
No real reason - it’s just that most people outside Israel don’t know that. He went grey early, and I don’t think he had any color pictures made as a young man, but he used to have the whole deal: bright orange hair, pale skin, freckles. It was pretty much his calling card.

But it’s OK to hate gingers, because they have no soul.

Yup, just as it is also acceptable to go on British TV and make jokes about blondes, black people, Asians, homosexuals, homophobes, fat people, vegetarians, teenagers, old people, hippies, slobs, posh people, Greeks, Spaniards, Germans, Dutch, Norwegians, yuppies, farmers, office workers, the army, the navy, the air force, chefs, shopkeepers, managers, lodgers, prison warders, prison inmates, detectives, policemen, and any number of other categories of people, both eccentric and mundane.
