Why Is It That Blondes Can Take A Joke But Gingers Can't?

It was offensive because it was aimed at CHILDREN. Kids are cruel enough without giving them more ammunition to use. I can just imagine a 10 year old redhead in school having one of these cards left on his or her desk. Blonde jokes are aimed at adult women, the card was aimed specifically at children. What if the card said "santa loves all children, even ones with afros". Would that be OK?

I'm not a redhead but my daughter is, thankfully I don't live in the UK anymore where it seems it's OK to take the piss out of children. People stop me in the street and tell me how beautiful her hair is. I just hope that she is always seen as unique and not as a target for bullying because she is different.

Had this card been directed at adults, I wouldn't have been so upset by it, but come on, kids have enough to deal with these days.
 
I remember you asking a question about this before where myself and like 2 other gingers answered and said they weren't offended by that stupid arse card.
 
As a blonde who used to henna her hair red I can verify that people treat blondes as stupid and expect red-heads to be hot-headed. Jokes about blondes are generally quite sweet, whereas jokes about gingers tend to be somewhat cruel and excluding.
 
I cannot see what all the fuss is about. Have these gingers got no sense of humour. ? "Laugh and the world laughts with you. Cry and you cry alone."
 
Who says blond(e)s can take a joke. Mst of them are probably too "Yellow" to fight back.

If the card had shown a black kiddie with Afro type hair on Santa's knee with the caption, " Santa loves all kids - even frizzy ones" would that be acceptable and anyone not finding it funny as humourless
 
cause most gingers are ugly and get bullied. that's why. so they take it offensively.
 
The blonds I know don't like being teased and picked on, especially about being idiots. The redheads were punched and some were kicked which doesn't sound real funny to me.
 
What about the redhead kids that have their faces smashed in or the blonde girl who'd rather not go to school and go through all that shite again?D'you love them too?

Lifts glove-Or maybe you just don't want to go 'there' when it hurts you.
 
The prejudiced, stereotypical jokes made against blondes, reds and coppers are created by brunettes. The sluttiest "blondes" are the brunettes who peroxide their hair, real blondes and reds/coppers shy away from such stereotypes in a bid to preserve their dignity. If people were to say these "jokes" about the brunettes who're changing their hair colour and behaving in such a socially repulsive manner, the real blondes, reds and coppers wouldn't care less.

Hair colour makes no difference. We all have different personalities. I have black hair in real life and I have a wicked sense of humour and yet I know other people with black hair and have no sense of humour so it varies from person to person and has no connection with hair colour.
