Include hair colour as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010

What the petition asks

I want justice and respect for people with ginger hair in the UK, which I feel have suffered from an acute problem with discrimination in this country. I call the Government to include hair colour as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 to ensure this.
I want respect and protection for future generations so they will not suffer the way I did.
