But one mother who complained to the BBC said: “I think it is totally inappropriate for the Doctor to make fun of people with ginger hair

Mikulski is a redhead. Gingers should apologize for that.

[Yossarian]

They must be eradicated!

Have you ever tasted Ginger?

[reg45]

It sounds like The Doctor is disappointed not to have regenerated as a ginger. His “ginger” companions though are megahot!

[Reaganesque]

Some people in this world just aren’t happy unless they’re offended by something. Bunch of whiners. Nevermind the fact that the previous Doctor (David Tennant) complained after his regeneration that he WASN’T a redhead. “I’ve always wanted to be a ginger” was the quote if I remember correctly. This new Doctor was also lamenting the fact he wasn’t a redhead. The BBC shouldn’t have dignified these complaints with a response.

First I’ve read about the “ginger” controversy. I didn’t even know it was used for red heads until I saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie- one of the characters was a “ginger midget” (red-headed short person).

[Clock King]

I have no idea why the Doctor ever comes back to earth. Humans get pissed off over the stupidest and most trival of things, like hair color, eye color, skin color.

Ginger in space.

It's been done.

The experience apparently turned her hair white.

This appears to be turning into a ‘red-headed hotties’ thread, which is fine by me ;-)

King David was a ginger

[Gay State Conservative]

In Britain the word “ginger” can mean red haired or having fair complexion but it can also be used to describe a guy who’s light in the loafers.Don’t know if this has been pointed out yet.

My brother's a ginger. He just married an Asian girl.

I told him his kids are going to be Ginger Ninjas. I only hope they use their powers for good instead of evil.
