Kick a Ginger Day
The Calgary Herald over the weekend reported the “Kick a Ginger Day” incident in which a facebook group urges people to kick a redhead on November 20th. Reports of redheaded children being kicked started coming in and more will probably come in later. This of course is discrimination and bullying against redheads. When I first heard about it, I was thinking, that sounds like something out of South Park!! Season 9, episode 11 of South Park had Cartman (one of the character) give a school report on Ginger kids as being soulless and cannot be cured. He then got all the kids to discriminate against redheaded children with pale skin and freckles. What are some of the effect of Media on Discrimination and bullying? Have you ever been bullied because of something from Television?
