Stories of bias against redheads may flare up now and again, but for Minnesotans who are part of the 2 to 4 percent of the world's population who have red hair, a pattern seems to hold true - when they're kids, they're not always wild about being different. Television shows including "South Park" and "Glee" have aired episodes poking fun at "gingers." It's even hit the animal kingdom, as photos of a pitiful-looking seal pup with aberrant russet fur being ostracized by his colony made the rounds online.

Patti Stanger, host of "The Millionaire Matchmaker," is making carrot-tops see red.
