An historical lesson
SCENE 1. EXT.-DAY
SIMON SCHIMA IS STANDING BY AN ANCIENT RUIN. HE TALKS INTO THE CAMERA
SIMON SCHIMA:
Ten thousand years in Europe there was a titanic battle between two types of Humans, the normals and the gingers. The outcome of this struggle would decide the future of all mankind.
CREDITS. SIMON SCHIMA IS NOW IN A CAVE LOOKING A CAVE PAINTING
SIMON SCHIMA:
At the beginning of civilisation there was a clash of immense importance. At this time the gingers was the most dominant and well endowed of all humans. Unfortunately the ginger gene was recessive and as their population shrunk the normals, the blonds, the brunettes and the blacks ganged up on the gingers forcing the entire population out of mainland Europe to the British Isles.
SIMON SCHIMA IS NOW STANDING IN A ROMAN BATH.
SIMON SCHIMA:
The rise of the Roman Empire lead to the first Ginger Genocide as the Romans could not stand the sight of red hair. Their Latin blood would rise and they turned savagely violent. Again the Gingers were forced to the black holes of civilised society, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
SIMON SCHIMA IS IN A MUSEUM
SIMON SCHIMA:
The persecution of the gingers continued throughout the Middle Ages and with the subjugation of Wales, Scotland and Ireland by England, gingers were forced to integrate with British society while facing daily prejudice. It is about this time that in England the word Ging-er was coined. For years this word has been used to insult and degrade gingers and not a lot has changed. For a short time during the Victorian era it was considered fashionable to have a ginger man servant in your household but this did not last long. During World War I gingers were drafted to fight along side normals however they were put in separate units. World War II saw a greater threat to the gingers as the Nazis wanted to kill all gingers as they did not have blond hair or blue eyes.

I am ashamed to say I did dye my hair but I thought f**k it I don’t want to die just because of the colour of my hair.
CUT BACK TO SIMON SCHIMA
SIMON SCHIMA:
During the sixties for a short time there was acceptance among British youth largely as most subscribed to the goals of the Civil Rights movement. By this time in America gingerism had largely disappeared and gingers were even able to join the police force

KID 2:

SIMON SHIMA:
Even the rise of politically correct alternative comedy did not improve the lot of gingers.
CUT TO AN ALTERNATIVE COMEDIAN
ALTERNATIVE COMEDIAN:
Why did the woman have two black eyes? Because society did not listen the first time. But those gingers man they smell don’t they. I think if a ginger moved next to me I’d have to move.
CUT BACK TO SIMON SCHIMA
SIMON SCHIMA:
This in turn lead to alternative alternative comedians who were larely ginger.

CHRIS LOCK:
Whos more racist, Normal people or Ginger people? Gingers cause we hate ourselves aswell as normal people. We’v got Gingers and Ging-ers, man I hate f**king ging-ers. You can’t do nothing when ging-ers are around. Man I f**king hate them.

CUT TO SIMON SCHIMA IN A CHURCH.
SIMON SCHIMA:
Gingers have come a long way in society. There are still barriers. Mixed marrages are fround upon and a ginger can never be the monarch. But why is the history of these people so important to me? Because…

SIMON SCHIMA:
...it’s the history of my people.
