Why is the term ginger considered racist?

Ginger is a term given to redheaded people. That isn't offensive in itself, but in parts of the world, redheaded people are marginalized, bullied, and physically attacked. In the UK, jokes about killing redheads and gingers having no friends are common. There is even the term gingerphobia, which is the fear or irrational hatred of redheaded people.

Racism is when you think one race is better than others or that certain characteristics or features make them inferior to others. The ability to become redheaded is a gene mutation that seems to have originated in Ireland. So by attacking redheaded people, you are attacking an entire subset of Irish people and their descendants.

Why do some people say that black people are the least intelligent race on the planet if they evolved first?

Not only were the Alkebulans (real name for the Africans) first on this planet but they also were the first to create civilizations. They practically roamed the planet and started civilizations and creation elsewhere but there were challenges. At first (before starting civilization) they needed to understand there being, understand how to communicate, how to socialize. They formed the first language. Then came interaction. Then came survival, growing population, etc. One thing that ignorant people don't understand was there so-called "RELIGION". Although no one knows who is truly responsible, a certain group of white people went to Akebulan and destroyed almost everything. What they did not understand was burned or thrown in a large body of water. This is why history is so twisted as of today. Certain people like to create or rewrite history to fit their people's needs, but also like to destroy it. Lots of people believe a Caucasian man created the light bulb or discovered America (even though blacks and natives where here first) but in actuality, "Black" people created this world pretty much. Without them, humanity would not be.

Anyway, during this time of growing knowledge, the Akebulanians had discovered how to build due to the discovery of mathematics, astronomy, and understanding how to become apart of the universe. And as the population grew, then needed to begin to expand their "empire". So they set foot all over the continent of Akebulan (Africa). Just to let you know that it all started in Khamit (AKA Egypt). (By the way, the people of Khamit were black, not Persian or white). The next civilization was Kush (AKA Ethiopia). During the time of population growth certain tribes or even kingdoms began to move north. Either because of small wars or disagreements that come with the chaos of population growth and control of land. These tribes and kingdoms stayed in these cold climates (Europe, Nothern Asia) or other places like Japan. Population still growing and yet these places were cut off from the rest of civilization. The Kingdom of Khamit sent other tribes after them but no one ever came back for many, many years.

Another Answer:

1. Black babies are scientifically proven to be the most intelligent.

2. Africa would be the richest continent in the world if Europeans didn't take all their natural resources, Diamonds Oil Gold Silver Etc. and Africa wouldn't be so poor, just imagine how much money 1 diamond could do for a whole village in Africa.

3. As stated at number 1, Black babies are more intelligent than any other race, but the period from being a baby to being a teenager is a cycle. black people don't have the rich education or resources white teens do, neither do they live in a stable environment. and sadly this did not just happen overnight. now put the 2.2 million black babies in a rich and wealthy environment and let them grow up around good education facilities and ask yourself if they would become criminals. No, because nobody is born a criminal.

Did Christianity and Judaism support racism?

As entire groups, no, but there were large segments of both the Jewish and Christian community that supported racism, especially against ethnic Africans.

In terms of Jews and Jewish groups that supported racism, the clearest example of this was the Jewish landowners in the South of the United States that owned slaves or supported slavery. Roughly 10,000 Jews served in the Confederate Armies (roughly equivalent with Union Army enlistment) and the first Jew to be appointed to any American Cabinet was Judah P. Benjamin, Treasurer for the Confederacy.

However, Jews of the more recent period have almost universally opposed racism. Most American Jews supported the African-American Civil Rights Movement with Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel (a Conservative Jewish leader) marching alongside Dr. King. Additionally, Israel has been the only country to take in Darfurian and South Sudanese refugees of Sudanese Government and Janjaweed violence, in contrast to racism against blacks that is quite persistent in Sudan.

Catholicism was one of the strongest advocates for the morality of African enslavement, claiming that the Africans were the inheritors of the Curse of Canaan and therefore intended to be slaves of Whites (who were descended from Japeth). This racism was not lost on most the major Protestant groups and John C. Calhoun was in good company when he asserted the same to defend American slavery. However, most of the early opposition to African Enslavement also came from members of the Catholic Church, including those who preached to the slaves.

Most forms of Christianity stopped advocating for racism in the more recent decades. The last form of Christianity to espouse racism openly was the Mormon Church, which stopped in the mid-1970s.

Does racism still exist in business?

Yes. However, racism tends to be less obvious than it was 30-50 years ago. Rather than a business refusing to hire a non-white person, the business may hire some non-white individuals but they may find they don't have the promotion potential their white counterparts have.
