I said visible tattoos and multiple piercings tend to be over-represented. You know, the kind that don't require undressing to see. But doctors (in general) don't say that most piercings get infected. That's your erroneous speculation or anecdote.

People like that probably find some excuse not to rent to non-white people, people with children, etc. And no, I don't have any evidence of this, I'm just speculating.
So it's all right to make sweeping pejorative generalizations about 'people like that' with no evidence whatsoever, as long as 'they' are .. what? 'Other'? 'Not like you'?
