[QUOTE] father who says his daughter killed herself after being bullied about her ginger hair wants such behaviour to be called a hate crime.
Enda Farrell believes discrimination against redheads should become a criminal offence in the same way that racial, religious and sexual hatred is illegal.
He says daughter Helena, 15, whose body was found in woodland near her home in January, took her life to escape abuse about her hair colour.
An inquest into the cause of her death has been opened and adjourned.
‘People need to realise when they say the things they do, it can have deeply traumatising effects and lead to self-harm and suicide,’ said Mr Farrell.[/QUOTE]

I never understood ginger hate to be honest.
Scummy kids will always be scummy kids, laws or no laws. You can make just about anything punishable, but people are still going to do it. Less of them will do it if they're sensible enough to understand that it'll get them into trouble, but there will always be that one asshole who thinks it's fun to make jokes about how somebody looks like.

You can thank South Park for that

Yeah, people followed the bandwagon of that, as a joke, then it became a real issue
i agree though, there might have been another factor since jesus christ, she really did look pretty
I'm sure depression was a factor, but constantly being bullied about your looks certainly can cause and perpetuate depression

It was a thing long before South Park, though.
It's really fucking weird but it's been happening since my sisters were teenagers in the 80s.
If she hated being a ginger so much why didn't she just bleach it and dye it a different colour?
Not that there's anything wrong with the way she looks there though.

People will find the dumbest reason to discriminate,
Ginger girls can be super hot.
ginger master race.

Because kids are evil little shits and ginger hair is "different".
I thought that only ginger men get bullied since red hair on women seems to be well liked.

I'm sure that it was a thing previously, but South Park have it to a new genre. They have quite a few episodes and jokes centered around the topic (such as the infamous gingers have no souls), which has given kids something they might not have heard about before. I didn't even know that ginger was a thing until I heard people talking about it from South Park

She committed suicide because of constant harassment and the depression that she suffered from as a result. If you ask me, changing an aspect of who you are just because some small-minded people bullied you about it is not the best of life decisions to make. Others can seek to influence such people through similar means.
As if bullying for some other reason is more acceptable.
Bullies will always find reasons to bully, the real problem is that they're bullies in the first place.
How about the kids who did it get perpetually bullied for what they did?
Wow, she's pretty ho-

Blaming South Park for ginger hate is ridiculous, it was always an issue

Whereas suicide is a good life decision?
I'm dating a ginger, she's pretty hot.

doesn't matter if it invented it or not, it undeniably exacerbated the issue.
something like this wouldn't have 35 million views without the south park episode about the subject

I'm being reminded about that Weasel News report in GTA 4 about red haired people striving to become a ethnic minority called [I]"apricot americans"[/I]

Bad Reading X1
She was pushed far enough that she committed suicide since she couldn't stand it any more.

Yeah, just like how black people should bleach their skin if they hate being black
what the everliving fuck?
people actually mock each other because of the colour of their hair?
Of all the things to make fun of people for, and they had to choose hair color? I mean, making fun of people for any reason is dumb, but doing it simply because someone has different hair color is especially petty.
Besides, I love redheads...
