Gingerism, the new racism?

Well if you believe this article it appears to be so.

Can being ginger really be that bad ?

What about baldism, twitchism or blondism, or is that just plain stupid ?

There is such a thing as "baldism". You couldn't make it up!
I'm in a minority myself. I'm the only person on my team who hasn't got an "ism" to use when in a sticky situation. There's two women, one black bloke, one really tall balding bloke, one chap who's getting on and a probationer who's new and therefore can't be exposed to the nastyness in the world.
I, on the other hand, am Mr Average White Straight Bloke.
It's not on!

Thin blue line, sounds like you are in a minority group, perhaps you are subject to continued averagewhitestraightblokism. I suggest counceling and further widening of the diversity spectrum to cover this. You could recommend this and get some useful development evidence. Your Force may be institutionally averagewhitestraightblokist. I'll check of the report to see if I can find it...........Nope, not in there. Looks like you're destined to take crap for the rest of your life. Never mind.
