UK - The British Isles feature more redheads than anywhere else on earth. But some people who have the genetic trait said they feel discriminated against.
"It's horrible," one woman said. "I mean, I love redheads. But people are quite anti-them."
In England, the flame-haired are called "ginger" or "ginge."
Photographer Charlotte Rushton said people often yell at her in the street and she often feels like part of a minority.
"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down," Rushton said.
The nation that gave the world Ginger Spice, the Duchess of York and Lily Cole may be ginger-phobic. And it is not a joke.
One British family of redheads, the Chapmans, told the British media it was driven from its home by abuse including anti-redhead grafitti, vandalism and physical assaults. Full Story MagazineLane.com
