lads, he described two people by their hair colour c'mon.

bringing race into it is full on Mick Hucknall levels of nonsense

fwiw, am ginger, bullied relentlessly for 10+ years at school for it; this is fine. Have more of a problem with the word moron tbh, given it's ableist history but 🤷

This was not fine. Saying it was fine helps perpetuate it. Others who experience it may not come through it in as good a place.

bringing race into it

Skin colour =/= race.

referring to someone with ginger hair as ginger? yeah, it is. The issue with "pink haired moron" isn't the use of " pink haired" imo.

in as good a place

quite an assumption.

Skin colour =/= race.

and using hair colour as a descriptor =/= using skin colour as a descriptor.
