Posts with xenophobic contents and racist slants are dealt with as per forum rules.

The particular user you were referring to was also infracted accordingly.

Regardless, others getting away (real or imagined) with misbehaviour or wrongdoing does not excuse anyone else's.

This proverbial phrase has much in common with 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth' both in meaning and by virtue of having been first recorded in print by John Heywood. Both phrases were coined well before any form of organised state support for the poor and express the widely held medieval opinion that if you asked for and received a gift you should be grateful for it. The 'gift horse' proverb was recorded first, in Heywood's 1546 version of A dialogue conteinyng the nomber in effect of all the prouerbes in the Englishe tongue.

Hmm i check on the page of the history of this proverb it doesnt mention that it have any racist connotation.

I would humbly asked the mod to purview on the use of proverb in forum.
