As you can kind of tell by the video posted up in the first reply, Aussies aren't nearly as offended by it as Britons or Canadians are. As long as it's not being *used* derogatorily, Aussies aren't too bothered. But then, Aussies are pretty laid back on most of these sorts of things.
Just be happy that nobody is calling you Tampon. (I really love Tim Minchin's humour).
Slightly off topic, but can Asian's get Ginger hair?

Hair and Skin color are two completely different things and you tell Canada i said that.

What the hell...Not sure if serious.
Oh my god!
I'd never ever again drink ginger ale-that damned red head-discriminating soft drink.

I don't know what part of Canada you live in but in my Canada it's not. I've dated two girls who referred to their own hair color as "ginger". One of them did some globe-trotting, and she did find the Austrailian term 'ranger to be a bit offensive, however. Naturally so, since it referes to a monkey. But ginger is just one way to describe red hair.
It's a British site, and as far as I know, "ginger" is the acceptable word for describing a person with ginger hair - "redhead" is the more "offensive" term

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
