Just because there is more than one minority person in the room doesn't mean they are not still in the minority in general.

I took it to mean outward appearance i.e. clothes, hairstyle, piercings, tattoos, etc.

Well, while I've seen quite a few barkeeps with facial tattoos, lots of piercings and unusual hair, they are still a minority compared to basically normal looking people, so that still fits.

In the kind of bar that employs someone who they describe as a ‘master mixologist’?

Because they all basically tend to look like someone’s Sims character

Yeah, people within the subcultures where these traits are more common do tend to stick together, and you are displaying one of the reasons for that when you mock them.

Somebody covering themselves in tattoos or piercings or having wild hair doesn't affect me negatively in any way. Maybe I'll have a private chuckle to myself if I find something silly, but I have no reason to attack them just for existing.

Lol who is mocking or attacking anyone?

Noting that a great many mixologists have a certain fashion style is in no way a comment on said style, much less a putdown, so you can just go ahead and climb off that high horse

You literally said they don't look like real human beings, but rather cartoon video game characters. That's mockery.

No reason to speak further.

no, he said they look like someone's Sims character. That's different.

People tend to make Sims characters that are cooler looking versions of themselves.

As in: "It's me, but with tattoos I'd never have the guts to put on myself, and with the rockstar long hair I would never think of growing in real life. And let's go head and put him in leather pants I would never be able to pull off."
