Have had 2 homes refused to me because I was a Muslim and many more were simply filtered out because I was an "unmarried" woman.
If you think you understand what it feels like to be discriminated against like that, you don't unless it happens to you.
Me: Looking for apartment
Owner: For Hindu vegetarian only
Hindu: Looking for apartment, but vegetarian only?
Owner: That's not an issue, as long as you're Hindu
BTW, this owner works in Dubai. Fine working in a Muslim country and making money there.
Fuck you.
