Make hair colour a protected characteristic to prevent discrimination

Some people see bullying red-haired people is acceptable, but this is prejudice against people for a trait they were born with.

Whilst some people might see it as a laugh to belittle, demean and abuse children for being red haired or their phenotypical characteristic, it can be very harmful stripping these children of their positive self-identity and confidence and worse it can lead to school refusal, health problems, and even self-injurious behaviour.
