What does it mean when someone says maybe your ginger?

What does it mean when someone says "well maybe because your ginger"? Is it nice or is it something mean and rude?

This guy that heard the girl say it, said he never what ginger was until he saw it on south park. Others that heard it, said its rude and someone else said its because I have red hair. So I'm just curious as to blow it off like I did or if its something good.

By the way I know this is the catagory, but I like the Q&A from here. Also say something cute/funny your kids did today.

My youngest son said he wanted to wrap his gift to his teacher today and give it to her so he could watch her open it and put it on her tree.

    To be honest I have always found the term "ginger" as slightly offensive... Its a slang term for someone who has pale skin,freckles and red hair. And like most slang names that are set for someones appearance it can take on a hateful,ugly tone....

    Well... It could mean that they were just pointing out your red hair, however, the more "mainstream" answer is that they are saying that you have no soul. There is a story that says that gingers have no soul and another one that says that each freckle is a soul that they stole from other people. It's kinda ridiculous.
