Today, our class was focusing on discrimination, and our teacher asked us if anyone had ever felt discriminated against. I put my hand up to share a story, and my teacher immediately said, "It's because you're ginger, isn't it?" That's not what I was going to say. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a guy in my class was talking about himself. He started his story with, "When I was little, I was a ginger." I replied without thinking, "Is that why you got put up for adoption?" Him being adopted was the actual story he wanted to tell. FML
Today, I overheard my dad's friend complaining to my dad that his new baby boy is a ginger. I continued listening, and heard my dad saying, "Yeah, there's nothing worse than having a ginger." I'm his daughter. I'm a ginger. FML
Today, we had to discuss our heritage at school. When I told the class that I'm German, Japanese, and of the Jewish faith, my teacher laughed at the "irony." Something like this always happens whenever I tell people my background. FML
Today, I told my parents that I wanted to donate blood. My dad helpfully interjected, "Sorry, they don't accept blood from gingers." FML
Today, we were talking about discrimination. I shared my story of being denied housing and a job offer because I'm trans. Some doofus tried to compare it to the time he was denied a car loan due to not having credit history. FML
Today, in class I was teaching 6 year olds about the difference between short and tall, and I asked them how they could see that I was shorter than the other teacher. One of them raised their hand and said it was because I'm fatter. FML
Today, I went to a seminar about non-prejudice and acceptance. I spent the whole time being made fun of because of my pink shirt. FML
Today, in class, we were discussing stereotypes. We were asked about common ones about nearby cities. A guy said, "Well, they say Lumberton has the prettiest girls." My teacher asked if any of us were from Lumberton, so I raised my hand. The guy quickly said, "Nevermind." FML
Today, one of my classmates put hand sanitizer on my seat. I took one look at my seat and said, “You honestly believe I’m going to fall for that?” I then got laughed at anyway, because I’m disliked enough for them to do that. That’s right, I get bullied for being bullied. FML
Today, my classmate went into rage mode and cursed at me, complaining how it's so unfair that I'm allowed to wear a hijab in class but she isn't allowed to wear a Flamingo hat. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sure it was what you were thinking. ... Honestly, though, I've always wanted red hair. It's so nice. :)

For people who don't know why gingers are a bad thing, it's a genetic fuckup, more or less. Look it up, kiddies. :D

So... would you say the same about blondes, who come about through recessive genes?

red hair is a mutated gene, i think thats what they mean
5t3ff1k4h 45
Agreed, but it still doesn't make them the scum of the earth.

Blue eyes come from a mutated gene, but people don't say blue-eyed people have no souls. :l

I thought blue eyes were also recessive.

Brown hair and eyes are the basic standard. like 50% of the world population falls into this category. The other 50% is divided between the other types of hair and eye colors.

blue are recessive, green are a mutated blue gene

We all have genetic mutations, some have allowed us to evolve better. I don't see how having red hair would be a negative thing, it just gives us redheads a unique quality that can't be easily copied.

Ginger hair is a genetic abnormality. Still I'm happy to be Ginger rather and have another genetic mutation. Same thing had happened when I've had conversations about discrimination lol
