Couldn't agree more
I had a colleague circulate a jolly cartoon suggesting that 'gingers' should be aborted. I was supposed to laugh along. The tendency for ginger-baiting seems to be filling the vacuum left by other forms of racism.

But in job interviews I've been asked more than once if I had "a bit of a temper" or "are you able to keep your cool". That's not funny.

This is to the pair of you.
I grew up with ginger hair, but as I got into my twenties it darkened into brown. So I know exactly what you're saying. I got all the ginger jokes. Still do, from people who can remember the ginge days.

That said... stop fucking whining and give a bit back. Perhaps they're not taking the piss so much because you're ginger, but because you're the kind of quivering milquetoasts who would equate garden-variety pisstaking with a racist attack. The more you whinge about this, the more you sound like the kid at school who would get his mum to tell off the bullies. When he was fifteen.
