Tesco Christmas card making fun of children with red hair

[Northernlebkuchen]

here

I can't believe they think they should sell something like this. So glad this woman got them taken out of our local tesco - now what about the rest of the chain?

I know two children horribly bullied because of their (beautiful) red hair. It's just the same as any other discrimination - breeds hate and misery

Here's the articles:

this card is apalling. if my dd saw this it would really upset her. she has beautiful red hair and has been called some terrible names which have completely destroyed her confidence.

It makes me whince when i hear so called ginger "jokes" on television/radio, it is really unfair. She doesnt understand why its so funny and would love people who do find it hilarious to have their kids repeatedly having the piss taken out of them for their hair/eye/shoe/school bag or whatever colour. Prejudice is a bitch.

She got told recently on Facebook that a certain boy wouldnt go out with her because she was "ginger".

I wont tell you what i told her to say back..
