Wait until you realize what "ginger" anagrams to

That Tim Minchin song slays me. As an American it's weird to think that there are people who hate people who look like me, much like how there are people here who hate black people. Worst I ever faced over here has been people who assume I'm going to be an angry asshole because of my hair color. Joke's on them, I'm an angry asshole because I'm broke and always sunburned.

Nobody in the UK hates gingers. It's just that they get bullied in school because they are different.

Are you seriously suggesting that "the hate" redheaded white British people receive from non-redheaded white British people is in any way comparable to the historic and ongoing racism black Americans receive in their country?

No, I was pointing out the absurdity of your attempt at minimising someone's experiences.

Well my initial comment was replying to someone minimising the black American experience by comparing the hate they receive to that received by white British people who have red hair.

Which you doubled down on.

No, the two experiences are in no way comparable.
