Remember all the fuss about Muslim women wearing face coverings like burkas & niqabs? [View all]

Many in the US and overseas trying to ban them, Boris Johnson being one leader putting a stop to it. Well, now that we are all covering our faces with one thing or another, its mainstream now, don't hear much complaining going on about it. I find that ironic & really points out how racist or Islamophobic those objections truly were.
