At the Robertson household in New Brighton, Minn., redheads make up 100 percent of the population. But when they grow up, they wouldn't trade it for the world. Television shows including "South Park" and "Glee" have aired episodes poking fun at "gingers." Still, for those who are part of the 2 to 4 percent of the world's population who have red hair, a pattern seems to hold true: When they're kids, they're not always wild about being different.
It's an "accepted form of racism." That's not the only example of dissing those blessed with strawberry blond, auburn or flaming orange tresses: In September, the world's largest sperm bank (Cryos of Denmark) began rejecting redheaded donors, claiming a lack of demand.
Stanger, who has often criticized redheads on the Bravo reality show that sets up rich men with comely women, is the target of a new Facebook protest campaign cheekily called "We Are the 2 Percent." "Redhead discrimination is overlooked, laughed at, and swept under the rug," writes campaign instigator Erin Roche. Patti Stanger, host of "The Millionaire Matchmaker," is making carrot-tops see red.
