At one time during my life I and my chums took a lot of notice of a man who had a beard as this was very unusual, as were people with black or very brown faces. However we did not associate a bearded man or black people with anything bad or inferior.
It seems rather hard that it's illegal to comment on one aspect of appearance and not on another. I think the safest and politest thing to do is not comment at all on personal body shapes, ages, weights, sexes, or skin colours.
