No idea about calling a black person an nnnnnn, but apparently they hate being called niggers.

 

[Gully]

No it isn't, but I think if you then quantified it by adding a nationality or ethnic grouping and another insult then it would be, for example: Ginger English Bastard...that would definitely be an insult, particularly if you weren't really ginger.

I'm not a ginger, so it'd be a bit odd if someone did call me ginger names.

Although, Ginger Biscuit is quite a good one.

It's not racist it's just another acceptable form of bullying in this country, The minute you add the colour of a persons skin to bullying it then becomes unacceptable.

At the end of the day it's all about colour though.

Pikeys ain't romanys

It is strangely accepted. It used to occasionally erupt in my lads football team - when I would stamp on it. It really is unpleasant - and simply on the basis of treating others as you would want to be treated - should not be tolerated.

It's quite funny- you never know whether it's accepted or not. In my football match the other day the other team had a really good, ginger striker. I kept going to shout "mark the ginger one" or something like that, and then stopped and didn't know whether I was allowed to say it or not. Strange because it's fine to say "mark the big / little one" etc.

Gingers have more fun.

They are more genetically prone to wetting the bed. Fact.
