ginger is actually the correct coloring. No one as red hair. It would be like calling blonde yellow head

What about brown.. it's brown.. or black? still black?

You're overreacting mate, it's more slang than derogatory.

since always. Ginger has been a hair colour in many countries for decades (at least the 40 years I have been alive). Whether you are called a red head or ginger tends to differ by region of a country/world you live in.

But the word is slang, it's not the actual defintion, which is why vgchartz is incorrect on this case, i have been to many sites, and this is the only one to claim red heads as ginger.

Ginger is NOT slang. It is a colour and means an orange brown colour.

Weird. On another forum that I browse alot (not gaming related) a user was complaining pretty much for the same thing today (being called Ginger).

But yeah I find odd how this site is moderated. You can call someone else stupid and you probably won't get banned. Yet, somehow, calling someone else a fanboy is a bannable offense. I don't see anything offensive about the fanboy word.

Don't be stupid.

If I didn't have this bottom part explaining myself, I'd be shocked if I wasn't moderated for this post. Personal insults are a no go.Calling someone stupid is just as bad if not worse than calling them a fanboy.

I am Australian, I don't know any ginger haired people that take offense to their hair colour. I am sitting 2 desks away from one and her response is "why would anyone take offense at being called ginger"
