One Of The UK's Biggest Landlords Has Banned Renting To "Coloured People" Because Of Their "Curry Smell"

Earlier this year, Fergus Wilson banned renting properties to domestic violence survivors, single parents, and low-income workers.
Fergus Wilson, one of the United Kingdom's biggest buy-to-let landlords, recently sent an email instructing his agents not to rent properties to "coloured people" because they leave a "curry scent" behind.
Wilson told The Sun that he was "overloaded with coloured people" and that he doesn't think this move is an offensive one.
Contained in the email, which was leaked to The Sun, were statements about why Wilson wanted to ban "coloured" tenants:
"It is a problem with certain types of coloured people — those who consume curry — it sticks to the carpet.
“You have to get some chemical thing that takes the smell out. In extreme cases you have to replace the carpet."
He also added that he wouldn't be bothered by having only white tenants.
