Could be centralized to certain cultures I guess based on the responses here, but - oddly enough - my best friend and girlfriend are both red heads, and they absolutely DO NOT like being called ginger. So at least in Ontario it's definitely a derogatory term for red-heads.
With that said, I wouldn't go so far as to say that the staff here are being prejudiced because it's an option, even though I personally would not have done it that way. I didn't even know you could pick a hair colour actually..
It's all about the game.
