They’re all acceptable imo.

Someones disability is ok too.

If I was thinner skinned and less able to stand up for myself my childhood would have been pretty miserable as a ginger - being at school in the 80s/90s as a ginger you'd encounter not much less persecution as any minority (or at least the school I went to was pretty brutal for it). Though I can laugh at a lot of the banter in this thread in pretty much any other context it would be deemed inappropriate in this day and age and for some it will be hurtful.

Should gingerism be treated as a hate crime like racism?

Well gingerism is probably similiar to mixed race in that its genetic determination from the two parents that's results in the persons look. And then you get people who don't have any genetic born factors but they develop conditions that affect their skin like vitiligo, acne etc. are all of these racism?

1 and 3 would not be acceptable, because you can bung a few quid at a hairdresser and easily get something done about 2.... although people seem inclined to somehow make it worse when they do this.

Pretty sure you need a soul in order to be offended.

As a ginger, this made me laugh

One of the funniest things I saw was when I was abroad in Malta I think.
A black couple were walking towards us with a pushchair so when they went past I turned around to look at the child and it was black with the most gingerest hair I'd ever seen.
It was really hard not to laugh until I was about 100 yards away.
How the hell did that happen?

Having a ginger brother it seemed like an easy go to insult for people when he bettered them in sport. Is it any different to calling someone big eared or is it more akin to using race or skin colour in the same insult, I'm not sure.
