A Newcastle family claim they have been forced from two homes by thugs who have targeted them over their ginger hair.

Kevin and Barbara Chapman say they and their four children, aged between 10 and 13, have endured years of taunts, smashed windows and violence.

 

They said they moved from Walker to Newbiggin Hall to try to escape the bullying, and then again to Kenton Bar.

 

Son Kevin, 11, said he was recently punched in a street attack. Newcastle Council is "discussing the situation".

 

Mr Chapman, 49, said his 10-year-old daughter Ryelle and sons Daniel, 10, and Jordan, 13, have also been badly affected.

 

He said each time the family received abuse they moved home.

 

The family also say they have endured their homes being daubed in graffiti.

 

Mr Chapman said: "The abuse we get is unbelievable. It started more than three years ago, when the kids started getting bullied by lads over the colour of their hair.

 

"They've been punched and kicked and thrown over a hedge. Every time they go out these gangs get to them."

 

He added that the family now wanted to move again.

 

Community police officer Sergeant Colin Murray, of Northumbria Police, said there had been a number of incidents all of which had been fully investigated.

 

Commenting on the matter, a Newcastle City Council spokesman said: "We are currently discussing their situation."

 

Leave those people alone!

Gingism? Sounds like some sort of dental disease.

 

Attacking folks based on their hair color? Nuts.

Don't tell me you would tolerate ginger haired people in your neighbourhood?!? :o

 

Just think of the property values, they would plummet faster than the Zimbabwian currency!

I'm far more concerned about people who can't roll their tongues.

Maybe the thugs who attacked them have red hair themselves, and they're so ashamed that they have red hair that they take it out on other people who have red hair?

It's all well and good until a redhead moves nextdoor to YOU ...

 

 

 

Bigotry is just a differential used by groups to attack each other. Skin melanin content is hardly significant in human life, yet because it has an large visual impact it has been used for bigotry since before history.

 

Interestingly, I read some research that concluded that for people in groups, their behaviours tended to migrate towards the stereotype, through simple reward and punishment interactions between the groups. (I think it was the skeptic article in Scientific American a few months ago, I'll have to go and dig it up.) This means that we naturally diverge (to compete?) ... which might have some long-term implications for peaceful coexistence ... which will be impossible without tolerance.

So blondes are fun and dumb because society labels them as such? Groovy.

Of all the blondes I've met, you'd be surprised how many acted dumb in various situations in order to control the men present. :p (Don't forget that most blondes aren't natural: they choose their hair colour on purpose.)

I disagree with that statement. Most blonds are natural. There are more natural blonds than not natural blonds I'd say.

given that the majority of human population is of middle eastern, indian or asian descent, true blondes are most certainly a minority, and even moreso redheads.

 

perhaps this stems from an assumption of irish descent, and they are being persecuted as a result?

wiki says 1.8% of the human population is blonde, which includes all the various hues. my son, for example (my avatar), is considered blonde. my hair color is similar to his, at least after some time in the sun (normally it is a touch darker), so i am as well.
