"Ginger Kids" is the eleventh episode in the ninth season of the American animated television series South Park. The 136th episode of the series overall, it first aired on Comedy Central in the United States on November 9, 2005. In the episode, Cartman is led to think he has contracted a mysterious and sudden onset of "gingervitus" (in actuality, Stan and Kyle use skin bleach, dye and tattoos, to transform him into a ginger kid in his sleep). Sick and tired of being ridiculed for his fake red hair, light skin and freckles, he rallies all the ginger kids everywhere to fight against the persecution and rise up to become the master race they are intended to be, or so he thinks.
