You can’t (officially) discriminate against anyone because they are, for example, Jewish, or any other ethnic origin.

You can change the one word that is highlighted ( for example, change it to ‘slimmer’ if you want to lose a few pounds ). Just put in […] Aw! What the heck! Never reckoned on a knighthood anyway … |
