Speaking as a ginger(hahahahaha), I've had a lot of shit thrown my wayI don't mind ginger jokes as long as they are funny... someone pointing out the obvious (big nose, skin colour, etc.) isn't offensive it's just tedious.
I think we have a fundamentally different opinion on human psychology. Life takes place inside our minds. What mood you are in will effect how you see the world outside. Life, to me, is all a matter of perspective... and I think I'm the one in control of that perspective so if my view of what is happening upsets me I think at some level I should take some of the blame for that.
I'm gonna stop there as I'm verging a bit to close to Charlie Sheen 'I just blinked and cured my brain' territory.

I'd just finish by saying life doesn't exist solely in the mind it exists in our environment as wellit's a symbiotic/dynamic relationship between the two. We are as much a product of our environment as our environment is a product of us and what we think cannot be taken with the exclusion of our environment nor can we change our environment without fundmentally changing ourselves and the way we think too.
I too was born a "ginger" but I refused to be defined as such and therefore got the respect that I fought for - and that meant taking offense to non-gingers taking the piss.

I started taking the piss better than they could.I could explain more thoroughly where my thought process comes from but it would require me to go on about being bi-polar which I cannot really be arsed with.
I'm going to take a guess and say that if you took a locust of control test you're result would come out as external. Where as I'm more of an internal.. hence this difference of opinion.
EDIT: as this a debate on an internet forum: "You know where people took offence? Nazi Germany that's where!"
