Surprised this isn't a red hot topic. Who is in the Ranga all star five?
I'm going with:
C Bill Walton
F Blake Griffin
F Brian Scalabrine
G Nick Manion
G Donate DiVincenzo
Honourable mentions Luc Longley,Matt Bonner, Kevin Huerter, Delonte West.

SAD list. I'd throw in big Mark Eaton but that's about it.
You could make a list of players called KEVIN that would beat this team.

James Crawford had splotches on his face like a ginger. Does he count?

Why stop there?
All black hair team?
All brown hair team?
All blonde team?
Is this racist? Calling someone a Ranga in reference to an APE is like saying the all time gorilla team for black people, its simply racist and a disgrace
How can it be racist? Red-headed people aren't their own race.
It's not racist because it's not talking about black people
No, its not racist because it isn't racially vilifying anyone!
So red head people are called Apes and thats ok?
Call a black person an Ape and its racist?
Aren't all people equal and deserves to not be compared to monkeys just because of the way they look?

Sorry Robt, should have mentioned I was going with an NBL lineup
Orangutans share 97% of the genetic make-up of humans, which is closer than red-heads.

How is it racist? It's a hair colour... literally just a hair colour.

Yeah that isn't racist, not nice, but not racist. Racism is much worse.
"Its hate against the way people look like."
That isn't the definition of racism.

As a ranga, I do not feel racially discriminated against by this thread.
But, when I was a kid in the '70s, I never copped "ranga". I got "carrot-top" and "blood nut" but never ranga. Is that because it's something Chris Lilley invented for his TV show? I've coached red-headed kids in the noughties and until Chris Lilley, they hadn't heard it.

Yeah, it's a weird irksome Australian term that has come out of nowhere. That could be its origin.
If this redhead race is feeling so racially vilified, I don't know, maybe go back to Scotland where you came from?
Could be worse, could be dumb as dog shite like the blond race. At the very least you have hair unlike the bald race.
