I mean, imagine if Groves called Degale a Fuzzy-wuzzy or took the piss out of Afro hair? THis only refers to hair; but he would get slated.
As to Degale's comment, I find it distasteful that he makes that remark publicly on live TV. It's puerile and hateful - red heads are slated, bullied and taken the piss out of mercilessly throughout their lives, just for their complexion and hair. I'm sure a lot of redheads really resent the stick they get / got. I have heard a theory that redheaded men grow up mentally very tough because of the stick they get. All the gingers in MMA seem to be nutters....

Anyway I don't mean to get on any high-horse, and it was by no means a personal attack on you - I know you have a good sense of humour - but I was more referring to the hypocrisy I feel that it's not OK to make remarks of a physical nature about non-white peoples, but whites are just open season (esp Gingers!)

PS I am not ginger myself!
PPS if 'ginger' is not an insult, I'd like to see someone say that to Eamon Magee's face!
PPPS My commiserations for being half-welsh

You make a good point reggae, a strange case of multiple standards in this area, for sure. And I would never even risk saying hello to Eamonn Magee's face, just in case he'd got out of the wrong side of the bed that day! But most importantly, I wonder where Ginger Tshabalala fits into all this?

or Bruce Scott when he dyed his hair ginger.

ON a serious note I believe Ginger Tsabalala died some time ago. Can't remember how. I sometimes mistake him for Courage Tsabalala (don't know if related) who unfortunately also died 5 years or so ago.

The latter was a prospect who lost for the first time in a big upset to Brian Scott...who sadly dies recently also..

Sad times

Yeah, but this was a bit of a one off, thank God. We went to a place called 'Black Legend' which was supposed to specialise in soul music. Not a black face to be seen and it was full of bankers of a certain age with their milfs and gilfs.

A pint in most ordinary bars - not that there was many - was your regulation six quid

A bar called Ginger Legend would have no soul at all if SweetLikeSugar is right mate!

I would love to be able to say I've been in a Ginger Legend.
