BBC: Is gingerism as bad as racism?

A red-haired family claims to have been driven from their Newcastle home because of abuse. Why is the harassment of redheads dismissed as just harmless fun?

… Mary Magdalene, Adam, Judas and even Jesus [were] depicted as redheads.

Jesus? A ginner? Where have I heard that before?

(Be honest, now: you thought I made up all this shit, didn’t you?)
