Bonjour Anne !
Indeed :) My own beloved husband is a "ginger", so I must admit that I never use the term in a derogatory manner, but I agree that it can also be used this way. I've therefore updated the question accordingly.
I should have remembered Tim Minchin's awesome song Prejudice ;)
Merci et bonne journée !
