I interpreted this song differently. I don't think it's about 'not being offended by it because it's just a word' or political correctness, and the like. Since he keeps repeating the phrase "only a ginger can call another ginger ginger" it seems that it is the critical point of this song - that is, if people find a word offensive, and don't want it to be used as a derogatory word against them, they should not being using it to refer to each other so casually. Like, if you want this word to not to be used against you, you shouldn't be using it to refer to yourself and others that belong to the same group as you. That, to me, makes more sense, since this phrase is constantly repeated, and is obviously meant to be more salient than other things mentioned. That's just my take on it, anyway :) |
