If you are a red head then you can sympathize with the everyday occurrence of obnoxious ginger jokes. Ever since SputhPark's introduction of "gingers having no souls" or anyother stupid and petty jokes that simply do not make sense. However, regardless of the fact that I could rant about this for hours the real reason I'm writing this is to help all of you other gingers out there through these ridiculous unnecessary jokes.
Step #1 is actually the joke being told to you. What do you do? Laugh? Get angry? Start crying? The worst thing you can do is give them what they want...a reaction. My best advice to you is simply to walk away. It is one thing for the joke to be funny which in this case you may laigh; however, when the jokes become offensive about making outrageous assumptions about a group if people based on their hair color is when it is time to walk away.
Step #2 the after joke. After the joke has been told and things have died down I suggest talking with the joke teller. If it is offensive or over the line then it is your responsibility to tell them so. However, do not get worked up over harmless jokes meant solely meant for joking good fun.
Step #3 learn to deal. Lately I have been extra sensitive to them and honestly it has worked a little. But I have learned that simply walking away is the best way to stop the poking fun.
In conclusion all I have to say is power to the gingers and don't let anyone tell you differently!!!
