The soulless ginger thing is new to me. Someone told me that I appeared to be a typical soulless ginger recently, and I was taken aback. Where does it come from?

South Park basically tried to satirize the dumbness of people discriminating against red haired people and it spurred this whole annoying 'gingers have no souls' thing.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Also became "Beat down a ginger day" in various schools.

It is annoying. People who are too politically correct and scared to be openly racist will jump on ginger bashing because that's not considered "racist" and not really frowned upon.

As a ginger I'm offended that I didn't think of it first.

Fellow brothers, I have a dream where one day a man will be judged not by the color of his hair, but by the quality of his submissions. The color of our hair cannot possibly hold us back forever. One day, it will be sought after. Prized. All the women will want to reproduce with us for our clearly superior red hair. Those who would seek to belittle us now will instead envy us.

...one day.

I saw this on MEMEBASE a year ago, which means it was on reddit a month before that and 4chan the month before. The cycle continues...

[–]ps02210 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ummmm... isn't that the whole point of reddit? To share interesting content? Who cares where it was first posted. If it's interesting, posting a link on reddit is a good thing, and not everything with a link posted to it on reddit is an original "publication". Folks need to get over this "saw it on X a month ago" BS...

[–]luckyjinxer -1 points0 points ago

No, I saw it on reddit a while back, too. I think it was a different subreddit, so whatever, but he's right, its pretty old.

[–]ps02210 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wasn't saying reposts on reddit were a good thing. I was saying that linking to interesting content from other sites was the point of reddit, which the OP seemed to be taking issue with, as if all content linked to from reddit should be "original" content first "published" via reddit, which is silly.

Not only is this joke overused, it wasn't funny in the first place.

It was funny on South Park. On Reddit, not so much.

[–]jimitonic 4 points5 points ago

I like how this makes the front page, but yet every comment on Reddit referencing the 'gingers have no soul' bit gets downvoted to oblivion. Some days I don't get this place.

I thought Gingers had Fire red hair and freckles on white pasty skin, not just brown haired white people.

Wish I had thought of this in high school. It could have been a useful ... 'hey ginger, you don't have a soul' 'oh yeah? well at least I can defeat dementors.'

Guy goes on and on about how I'm not God and how Christian he is; do you really think his argument regarding soulyness is valid?

Boy I sure love how a south park episode that used an anagram for the n-word with a moral of "what's the big deal of calling people that?" is so well latched on to. Basically if you think a ginger joke is funny you're secretly a racist.

[–]stereopathic 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I get what you're saying but I don't think it makes them racist. But bigoted? Sure. The word seems to have morphed into a socially-acceptable slur, an easy way to degrade a group of people who are sometimes even minorities in their own family.

[–]Omena123 2 points3 points ago

Gingers aren't a race.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They are a genetic trait of certain ethnicities though. It's not like you get many Chinese gingers.

[–]Omena123 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That still doesn't make it a race. That would mean every human is a different race.

[–]Tretyal -1 points0 points ago

I'm sure there's soulless chinamen out there too. Don't worry.

You are so far off you could be drowning in an ocean..or maybe in space. Or somewhere far away from the origin of ginger. It, for my knowledge at least, started in England to describe people with freckles and red hair and pale skin. South Park just opened it to a more western audience. Also, hair color isn't a race so therefore it's not racist.

Awe, I tried to reverse your downward momentum of votes because I came to say nearly the same thing. Minus the "tsk tsk". Have this up vote to try to at least break even.
