National Kick a Ginger Day

Apparently this started with a character on South Park who described redheads as "evil" and "soulless". This gave a fourteen-year-old boy the idea of starting a Facebook group dedicated to the idea of promoting November 20 as "National Kick a Ginger Day". The group soon had over 5000 members, and unfortunately some people decided to take the idea literally.

Redheaded students at schools throughout Canada reported being kicked and punched by other students on Nov. 20. One student, Aaron Mishkin (pictured), felt so traumatized that he skipped school the next day.

Things like this just confirm my most pessimistic feelings about the human race. Sometimes people really suck.

Thanks, Hellview - the intellectual level of this thread was dropping rapidly until you showed us the way, in the same way your brave nation's soldiers are doing in Iraq, Afghanistan and Japan.

Go ahead! Kick me if you have a death wish. You'll be eating liquids though a straw after I'm done with you. I'm a ginger, I have no soul, so I can beat you to a pulp and have no remorse. You're committing a hate crime that I'm quite willing to punish you for.

I have red hair and tons of freckles. Anyone that wants to give gingers shit can come try to give me shit. They will have to deal with a 230 lb angry Ginger that has mma training. Noones ever bothered me about bein a ginger.
