Hey, the article only says 40 muslim elders.
that could be black, white, brown or yellow and possibly white.
Asian muslims do come in all shades.
Also:
"Three other new sheltered housing blocks in the borough are not earmarked just for Asians. "
So, the development isn't _ENTIRELY_ for asians.
And:
"a recent council report admitted that the level of need among elderly Bangladeshis was "a hidden need". "
There is an officially recognised gap between provision and demand for services to specific segments of the asian community in that locale. What is the major problem in servicing that need?
Read that article without the spin.
There's a need for asian specific retirement facilities in this locale. A development is being prepared to service that particular need, as well as the needs of the community as a whole (the three blocks which not earmarked).
Now, sans hype, whats wrong with it?
