      Looking at their post history, I suspect they’re American. And not recently emigrated to the UK American like me.

      I’m thinking one of the poshest places in the UK wouldn’t be 30% Muslim. With a large proportion of that 30% being immigrants. Something tells me most non-white immigrants aren’t that lucky.
