Another tram experience... 96 year old WW2 veteran beat by a black man, gets no jail time

A drunk biker is riding through the city and his bike is weaving violently all over the road. A cop pulls him over. The cop says to the biker, "Where have you been?" "I've been to the pub," slurs the biker. "Well," says the cop, "It looks like you've had quite a few." "I did all right," the biker says with a smile. "Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms, "that a few streets back, your wife fell off the bike?" "Oh, thank heavens" sighs the biker. "For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf ;)
 
Go and be brainwashed by those left leaning political blogs like LFF they tackle racism but only if the victims are coloured. The far-right blogs on the other hand do the exact opposite and only focus on crimes committed by non-whites. This is why we need to find middle ground between the two and end double standards from both sides.

It bothers me these people who claim to be anti-racism don't say a word when the victim is white!

Racism should be deplored wherever it happens, the race of the individual is immaterial. If racism is aimed at those who are white then it should be treated the same as if it was aimed at those who are Black....unfortunately the reality in this country, is that contrary to the beliefs and statements of some here, the vast majority of racism and bigotry in general is aimed at ethnic minorites, and other minority groups....and as such they need specific protections.

This has the unfortunate side-effect of appearing unfair or one-sided, in reality however, this is rarely the case and while we can all point to the exceptions to this, the vast majority of cases where racism or bigotry is a significant factor are against the minority groups and not the opposite.

Wrong.

The British Crime Survey reveals that in 2004, 87,000 people from black or minority ethnic communities said they had been a victim of a racially motivated crime. They had suffered 49,000 violent attacks, with 4,000 being wounded. At the same time 92,000 white people said they had also fallen victim of a racially motivated crime. The number of violent attacks against whites reached 77,000, while the number of white people who reported being wounded was five times the number of black and minority ethnic victims at 20,000. Most of the offenders (57%) in the racially motivated crimes identified in the British Crime Survey are not white. White victims said 82% of offenders were not white.[4]

Given that Britain is vastly majority white, we can conclude that pro rata, far more 'ethnic minorities' commit racist crimes than whites do.

Unless you live in Blackburn or similar areas. I'd never been inflicted or been racist towards anyone right up until I moved here. A lot of people in this country seem to live sheltered lives, the racism from ethnic minorities around here is terrible, however this goes completely un-reported due to it being classed as a non-event. However I have found that any racism either way certainly around here is almost all from younger people, they tend to grow up eventually but whilst in their youth they have unfounded racist tendancies.
 
Bring the stocks back to the town square and let everyone pelt them with rotten eggs etc, losing their dignity would have more effect than putting them in prison for a little while

Until the mid-nineties, the government's British Crime Survey only asked ethnic minority groups whether they had been the victim of a crime which was racially motivated. Since then, all victims are asked and the picture has changed dramatically.

The most recent analysis shows that in 2004, 87,000 people from black or minority ethnic communities (BME) said they had been a victim of a racially motivated crime. In the same period, 92,000 white people said they had also fallen victim.

Focusing on violent racial attacks, 49,000 BME were victims. Among whites, the number was 77,000. Of those that involved wounding 4,000 were BME. Among the white population it was 20,000.

The numbers can be highly misleading, though. Since about 90% of people in Britain are white, the statistics actually show the risk of being a victim of race crime is significantly greater if you are from an ethnic minority.

And from your own link:

The CRE report points out that, because of their smaller numbers, members of minority ethnic groups are still far more likely to be victims of racial attacks than whites.

Just to illustrate that I am not wrong, and you are as per usual attempting to mislead....

I'm not sure that we can conclude that - there's nothing to give any indication whether the majority of attacks came from a small group of individuals or whether it was a proportionate spread i.e. whether some people are particularly prolific in their attacks or whether it's a more widespread issue. You may assume it as self-evident but without further analysis it's not conclusive.

Perhaps but it seems a reasonable assumption to make.

How do you work that out, considering that both your link and the CRE themselves specifically stated that Ethnic Minorities are far more likely to be victim of racially motivated crime.....The report you cited specifically stated that "You are Far more likely to be a victim of racially motivated criminality if you are of an Ethnic Minority group" which is precisely what I stated......

The only embarrassing thing about this thread is your incredible ability to ignore what doesn't support your ideology even when it is spelled put to you by those you think support your view, when in fact they are saying the opposite.
