Clayton: ‘Kick Ginger’ Day Absurd
Apparently, some years ago, there was an episode of South Park where Cartman declares 
November 20 "Kick a Ginger Day." Gingers are redheads with freckles. As a way of making fun of racism and other forms of prejudice, this sounds kind of funny. But apparently someone created a "Kick a Ginger Day" group on Facebook--and now there are multiple incidents of attacks on gingers. ... Pretty clearly, what kids watch influences them in ways that are truly irrational. Hatred of "gingers" isn't something that they learned from their parents. It isn't something that the government has encouraged. This is something completely absurd, created as a joke -- and yet it leads to violence/Clayton Cramer. More here.
Question: What do you make of "Kick A Ginger Day"?
