As we continue OUR attempt to rid the world of discrimination and hate speech, whether it be against minorities like blacks, gays or any other group, I find the hate simply gets shifted.
Next on the list: "gingers."
I see a lot of jokes made about people with red hair and freckles, on Twitter and Facebook. When will WE start speaking up for these people? They have no choice in the color of their natural hair or how many freckles they have.

I'm serious. I find it appalling. It's not OK to hold judgement against someone for their skin color or sexual orientation but everyone yucks it up when a ginger joke is thrown out there.RC, SoDak 1998 - KC 2000 - Council Bluffs IA 2003 - Fargo ND 2003 - St. Paul MN 2003 - Alpine Valley 2003 - St Louis MO 2004 - Kissimmee FLA 2004 - Winnipeg 2005 - Thunder Bay 2005 - Chicago 2006 - Grand Rapids MI 2006 - Denver CO 2006 - Lollapalooza 2007 - Bonnaroo 2008 - Austin City Limits 2009 - Los Angeles 2009 - KC 2010 - St Louis MO 2010 - PJ20 Night 1 - PJ20 Night 20
