Mick Hucknall says that 'ginger' jibes are as bad as racism.


The flame-haired singer ha out at "bullies" who mock people born with
the vibrant hair color.
He said: "When it comes to name calling for being ginger or for the way you
talk, then that's simple bullying.
"It worries me to think how seven year-olds running around a playground
could get bullied just for the color of their hair. It's like racism, not
the same but the principle is similar.
"It has become acceptable to mock people for the color of their hair. But
at the end of the day, you've just got to ignore the jibes and get on with
things."
Hucknall - who has dated a string of beautiful women including Catherine
Zeta Jones and Martine McCutcheon - claims people only insult him because
they are jealous.
He added: "The truth is if you're successful, you've sold a load of albums
and slept with a load of women - and all the rest of it is just pure envy."
Mick releases his first solo album, 'A Tribute To Bobby', on May 19.
