Doctor Who
Barmymoo:
By French episode I meant of the Lauren Cooper stuff, not Doctor Who.
Blacksinow, replace the word "gingers" with "blacks" and you'll see why your statement is offensive. The colour of your hair (like the colour of your skin) doesn't have any bearing on your personality.
blacksinow:
Actually, I've heard that there are specific genes that are common with different haircolors. I've heard different things about genetics, so I wouldn't be shocked if there were common characteristics that did effect mood swings in red-haired people.
ev4n:
I'm not all that interested in the category of things that surprise you. If you're going to sling around characteristic traits that may be held by people who read here, or their friends or family, you'd better bring documented, scientific genetic proof or correlation.
In other words, you were told what you said is offensive, and rather than apologize you generalized.
blacksinow:
It isn't any different then a blonde moment.
Barmymoo:
No, you're right, that is another phrase which makes an offensive generalisation about people based on their physical appearance.
You've been on this forum for long enough to have realised by now that offensive generalisations are against the rules; equally, it's advisable not to make statements based on science you don't understand.
