Ginger is a term given to redheaded people. That isn't offensive in itself, but in parts of the world, redheaded people are marginalized, bullied, and physically attacked. In the UK, jokes about killing redheads and gingers having no friends are common. There is even the term gingerphobia, which is the fear or irrational hatred of redheaded people.
Racism is when you think one race is better than others or that certain characteristics or features make them inferior to others. The ability to become redheaded is a gene mutation that seems to have originated in Ireland. So by attacking redheaded people, you are attacking an entire subset of Irish people and their descendants.
