No one should be bullied but nowadays it seems like bullying redhead people with the mc1r gene is still happening but we need to stop that starting today! There are red heads of all ethnicities all over the world! You sometimes hear the word "Ginger"  thrown around loosely but when used in a negative manner it's offensive! While ‘racist’ jokes are seen as socially unacceptable, it seems that ‘ginger jokes’ have become acceptable.. IT'S NOT! A redhead doesn't just have red hair with the MC1R gene, they also generally have more pale complexion, and freckles. For too long redheads have been treated like they are inferior human beings, when we are all equal as people on this Earth. We need to add redheads to the protected characteristic list NOW to go along with today's standard of diversity, equity and inclusion. Abuse ranges from name
calling which leads to low self esteem and depression. Most disturbing suicide. Serious assaults have occurred just for being a red head. A red head can't permanently change the color of their hair or remove their freckles, just like a person can't change their skin color, sexual orientation or disability they were born with. This abuse and misconduct can't continue. This is not "OK".
