        I believe there is a supported accommodation there, might be that one. Age ranges seem to suggest it.

      Being racist isn’t a good look, Helen. Especially when you have nothing to base this on. Stereotyping is quintessential racism. Do better.

        Stereotyping is quintessential racism? As supercilious generalisations go, that’s a brilliant example of condescending clap-trap. When does “probability” become a stereotype and when does a rhetorical question or supposition define someone as a racist. Put your slippers back on Benjie, old boy. You still have time to be self-righteous in a much more meaningful way.
