Gingers have no souls vs the legend that is Tim Minchin

So today is national "Kick a Ginger Day" and I know I'm not the only one that thinks "seriously, WTF?". This ridiculousness derives from America, specifically from the clip from South Park claiming that "gingers have no souls" from the episode "Ginger Kids" and as per things get taken to the extreme. I'm all for taking the mick and I do obviously see the whole episode as a joke, the biggest reaction I would give would be an eye roll.

This episode got a lot of publicity from the video response that followed "Gingers do have souls", where an OTT kid said that "ITS SERIOUSLY GETTING OLD! GINGERS HAVE SOULS SERIOUSLY I HATE SOUTH PARK ALL THEY DO IS INSULT PEOPLE AND IVE HAD ENOUGH OF ALL OF IT I WANT SOUTHPARK BOYCOTTED" ...okay man, chill out. I'm all for ginger pride, don't get me wrong, but I honestly don't care whether or not a cartoon says I have no soul!

Kick a Ginger Day on the other hand? We all know that someone is going to take this too literally, so I say: get a grip people! DO NOT KICK SOMEONE WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE GINGER / BLACK / WHITE / PURPLE / GREEN WITH YELLOW SPOTS - lets everybody keep our hands and feet to ourselves and show some decorum.

Many people have been made fun of, picked on and bullied because they are a redhead and because of this, Australian comedian Tim Minchin made a satirical scarlet-themed song called "Prejudice". The song is not only catchy with genius lyrics but lightly talks about supposed "gingerism" in a hilarious way.
