Freckleface‚ Ginger‚ Duracell and Carrot Top. One of the many names we with red hair have to endure almost daily. We only make up an estimated 1-2% of the population but all feel that we have experienced different levels of what is known as gingerism. This is prejudice against or maltreatment of people with red hair and is more serious than you think‚ but is it as offensive as racism?
