Redheads are treated differently. We have a genetic mutation, require more anesthesia, and make our own vitamin D in the dark. We also make up only 2% of the population, which is approximately 140 million gingers worldwide. Redhead prejudice is nothing new; in ancient Egypt, redheads were buried alive as sacrifices for the god Osiris.

Given these unique characteristics and historical prejudices, it is time to recognize redheads as a distinct race. This recognition would help address the discrimination we face and promote greater understanding of our unique genetic traits.
