    I would describe that man as 'bearded' rather than heavily bearded.

    Does he look 14??? No. Away with ye pedantry.

    It's not pedantry - heavily bearded Muslim man creates a specific set of associations that are clearly not relevant here.


    JustAThought is a dogwhistling racist - there isn't really a nice way to say that ; and I'm not being pedantic I am picking zim up on a lie.

    I know a family who took in a refugee. In due course that person got 'own door' accommodation. After a month or two the family took in another refugee, and again, that person got their own place eventually. Both were arranged through the Red Cross.

    There are good people out there. Don't be too negative by generalizing on perceptions.

    I’m sure the poster will call you up on your accusation himself. But “zim” ?? Now I know to ignore you!!!
