A question for you. If people had never been persecuted for the colour of their skin; if slavery had never happened; if all colours and creed had gotten on just fine throughout human history; would there be such an issue with jokes about peoples skin colour?

For me, this is why racism and ginger jokes could not be more different.

My only caveat is of course, all jokes can be taken too far.

Don't get me wrong, I like a trip up the tradesmen's entrance as much as the next bloke. I just thought that it was funny that a this thread has diversified (as the often do) that all three of the tripartite discussions going on have a high degree of wrongness.

And tasting your own man-batter is just wrong. Never done it, never even thought about until I read this here and it made me a bit queasy. However, strangely, I've stuck my tongue up a woman's dirtchute and that didn't bother me. Guess I'm just weird.

Ginger prejudist isn't recent you know. Just because there is ignorance towards the origins of "gingerism" that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Besides, i'm mixed race and i think other ethnic minorities can relate to any sort of prejudices towards appearence. I can tell you one thing for sure: this thread offends me!

People make up their own criteria of what's right and wrong just so they can justify the marginalisation of certain groups.

Ginger could be seen as a race! When you think about it someones race is all down to appearence. Black people have dark skin, distinctive noses and lips, vulnerability to certain illnesses. Redheads have red hair, fair skin, freckles, vulnerability to certain illnesses.

Saying that racism due to skin colour and hair colour is completely different is ignorant at best.

Well, it "couldn't be more different" according to one of the members of this site. But yes, i grant there is a difference (in the same way as there's a slight difference between being prejudist towards a black and Asian person in that they are of different race).

This thread is hilarious!

Exclusively on Efestivals: Gingerism, marginalisation of ethnic minorities in society, anal, and spunk on toast :P

    • I was thinking big London date and lots of smaller ones.
    • I don't think they are too big for Castlefield these days. They've not had a new album for almost a decade and they like playing smaller venues. Maybe multiple nights is another option as they do like residencies 
    • Second half of next week I would expect for stage times.
    • made a last minute decision to go to Belladrum festival.   it was absolutely wonderful.   never been before, to be honest I think I was expecting a stage in a field and a burger van, but its nothing at all like that.   the site is beautiful, its small enough to get around, but big enough that there are things to discover round each corner, there are a good number of small stages tucked away.   you could quite easily convince yourself you were in Glastonbury in places.   I may have only been one time, but already learned a valuable lesson - the site itself may be Glastonbury like, but the "general camping" campsite is very much Reading like! as the morning mist rises... its a view like the Do Lung Bridge scene in Apocalypse Now...   so if you are not 15 years old, go to family or quiet camping which is fantastic.   its a real family friendly festival to - loads of families and kids of all ages running round and stuff for them to do.   I would 100% recommend it, and I really can't see any reason why I wont be going back next year!   🙂 
    • In terms of a Manchester/Leeds date, Wythenshawe? Too big for Castlefield Bowl, Kirkstall Abbey, Millennium Squade
