A person with "red" hair (can range from dark red to a light orange), pasty white skin, and freckles.

Contrary to other posts, gingers ALWAYS have very light skin and freckles. Those without are "daywalkers".

Gingers must usually avoid heavy sun exposure, as their low efficiancy melanin skin has a higher risk of sunburns. (The amount of melanin has no effect, it's the efficiancy)

Awareness and mocking of gingers has increased since the airing of southparks "Ginger Kids" episode 912.

People who have the ginger complexion are said to have "gingervitus" Although it's really just a sub ethnicity.
Jim: "Hey why is that kid walking around with an umbrella? It's sunnier than it has been all year!"
Bob: "He has an extreme case of gingervitus, his doctor recomended against heavy sun exposure"

Josh: "Hey look at the new ginger kid!"
Brett: "That's not a ginger, that's a daywalker. He doesn't have pasty white skin or freckleless"
