The comedic clip we watched in class yesterday joked about the discrimination of "gingers" and quite a few other people have posted about South Park and there claims that "gingers are evil". Yet another use of people with red hair to display discrimination is the MIA music video Born Free. Where as the other examples show the discrimination in a humorous light this video shows them being rounded up by military officials taken on buses to the middle of nowhere and then blown up. And it makes me wonder why is it that people with red hair are so often used, in a humorous manner, as an example of a subjugated minority race?

There is the video for anyone who wants to watch it, but as a warning towards the end there is some rather graphic violence.
