Ginger people have never been enslaved, they have never had basic human rights stripped away from them, they have never been made to wear a star of David, they have never been sent to prison, they have never been abused and mentally tortured by church doctrine for centuries either.

That's the difference. What ginger people have to go through in school is the same as fat people. That doesn't make it right, but it's a completely different scenario to having your human rights stripped away.

I get you completely on the human rights point, but surely that is only because these have become big political issues. Does that make any "lesser" hatreds any less? And you, Jesus, being a Jew, as you are....the whole discussion should be about societal constructs, and not is what is "right" and what is "wrong". All prejudicial hatred is wrong.
