Have they used the wrong picture?
How is he black?
Or under 25 for that matter? Mf's hairline is as bad as mine.
Knew a dude in HS who by 23 had hair worse looking like that
Reasons as he gave them:
Russian genes
Bald parents
Wayyyyyyyyy too much cocaine
Bald by 23, balding at 14.
Germanic ancestry, I guess.
Dad has great, luscious and full white hair. Mom has plenty of hair, but HER dad was bald.
No cocaine, though I have smoked pot since 16, doubt it's related
Yeah, but the law is that they have to card if the person "looks" under 25, and it's only under 16 that they have to refuse to sell to. He absolutely does not "look" 25, and I think you could make a case that no reasonable person would suspect that someone with a receding hairline is under 16 where they'd have to refuse service, or even under 25 where they are supposed to ask for ID.
If you read the article, the alt text says that's him and his son. There's also a link to his Twitter account.
I read it, but it is The Grauniad. They're not exactly known for proof reading.
He's from Staines.
He is a light-skinned black man, you can put away your Pantone reference materials, calipers, or whatever other race science tools you're employing here.
