I dunno, having a bit of ginger myself has made me the target of jokes and ridicule. Being a bit of a nerd means my skin is far often pastier than others, and people comment on it. I have been called translucent and have asked if I have half a soul because my beard is ginger and my hair is brown. People say ignorant idiotic crap all the time. It's ignorance, judging people based on their appearance, and it's been happening to anyone not white for centuries.

Sure, but making everyone scared to have any sort of discourse with people for fear of offending each other will do nothing to improve racial integration.

I'm of Irish decent and it has had it's fair share of stigmatism throughout history yet most of us pretty pasty white.

I don't know about you, but I don't really wanna discourse with people who are so superficial as to ridicule my appearance. If you offend me, why the hell should I engage in civil discourse?
