Today is “National Kick a Ginger Day” in Canada. Ginger is, of course, a slang expression for people with red hair. Redheads account for only four percent of the world’s population. It’s thought that within 100 years, redheads will become an endangered species along with polar bears, manatees and certain species of armadillos.

People in the UK and SA have tried to tell me this ginger bashing is just good ‘ole honest fun. But I think it’s just mean wrapped up in “aw, can’t you take a joke”. Makes me cross.

I prefer redheads… I don’t like blondes… Brunettes are okay… Redheads are my favorite. Yummy.

That’s terrible. They should change it to “Kiss a Ginger Day.”
I’m a natural blonde, but I heart my red-headed sisters!

blonds will die out before reds, unfortunately – ’cause I love blonds somewhat, an I will shed my appropriate tears …
but I am just a perverted guy, solely hunting dying species – so don’t listen to me

I wonder if the world ginger may be used in good way, I suppose so, wasn’t Geri named “ginger spicy”? I find the red hair the most beautiful haircolour, what a pity it’s so few and it’s gettin even fewer.

Is this really true? What a shame! Or is it some day of a minority-subculture which hates red-haired people? (What were the colors of the Canadian flag again?).

the canadian flag is mostly red, it shows a maple leaf.
if i remember correctly, there might be white too. most of the year, most of canada is white, isn’t it?
You kick this ginger and my black belt in karate will be utilized! Be warned!
No wonder this Canadian girl is mean to me. I’m a red head and I’m the nicest person you will ever know. I get upset when people call me fire crotch. I cry.
If anything, us redheads should kick some Canadians. That’s mean for them to treat us this way.
hahahahahah kick me and i will kick you back. i am one of those redheads that doesn’t help the gingers have fiery tempers attitude.
Ashley–my senior year in high school a group of guys called me firebush–and that name caught on and stuck. I got over it and they can’t call be firebush anymore! ;p
