Positive discrimination FTW.
I got my current job partially due to being a ginge. My boss is a ginge also, and so is one of his kids. In my second informal interview he said I had the job. I was overjoyed, then he sort of said 'You might've noticed my hair colour, and in the pictures, my daughter has the same hair colour as too.' It was the first time in my life I'd been rewarded for being a ginge.

Mostly positive
People tend to remember you, which is helpful.

When I was younger I noticed a pattern in interview questions that hinted at stereotyping e.g. 'Do you ever lose it in stressful situations?' 'Do you have trouble getting on with people?' right up to the outright 'So - *do* you have much of a temper?'

I didn't get any job where that kind of question came up. That may be just coincidence.

This also happened to me!

I say applied, actually I was red-head-hunted.
