16 year old bullying a Syrian refugee with a broken arm, choking and waterboarding him

If only I had £100k for every time I encountered a bully at school.

So why isn't every white kid that had the crap beaten out of them and vids shared online receiving £££?

Because people assume an immigrant will not have much money and security as a native Brit with multiple generations of established family in this country, loads of uncles, cousins etc.

It's clear that an immigrant child wouldn't have many people to fall back on.

So then I ask, why don't we see these funds being set up when a white kid suffers equally horrendous treatment? What is so special about this case?

The fact that he's a syrian refugee. One with a little sense would assume they don't have much money and people are compassionate enough that they don't want to see a lack of financial security also be a problem for this child.
 
If you manage to convince a white bullying victim is also poor parents or his parents died or some other emotive stuff, then I'm sure people would also donate money to them and Many of them would also be asians/muslims/blacks/any minority.

It's just that people don't immediately think the parents of normal bullying victims are short of cash!
 
When I was a kid I was a white kid being bullied every day by other white kids, just as bad as what's in the video.
Nobody helped me with the bullying, never mind giving me £100k.
In the same way that a 'hate crime' is not worse than 'crime', 'hate bullying' is not worse than 'bullying'.
Bullying is a massive problem and we need to do more.

I don't think you understand British families if you think most can fall back on cousins and uncles for help lol.

Having a close family that has managed to stay together from a war zone and through large travelling distances already puts them ahead of many British families. Then add in free everything, and you're talking out ahead of a very large percentage. I'm assuming they were asylum seekers as that seems most likely, and in that case the state provides everything.

4 million children in this country live in poverty. I'd work on the assumption that any child who is being bullied is suffering from poor financial security based upon that statistic!

Edit: Plus don't we keep getting told that immigrants are all net contributors to the UK economy therefore he's more likely to be better off?
 
This will spread like wildfire, and now people will say "Travel to UK and get free house, free education, free medical care, money from the government, and £93k!!
 
I've got to admit that I'm jealous of that amount of money.

I was bullied, that would have got me to where I am now in 30s, but a decade earlier. Instead I carried the psychological weight of the esteem destroying bullying well into my twenties and wasted what should have been some of the best years of my life hiding away from the world.

You think posh kids with rich parents don't get picked on?

Heck I have major concerns for people living in poverty, worrying about some kid who is trending on social media and whining about people's compassion for one particular case, and saying "ohh it's only happening because he's not white" is not going to solve the general poverty issue.

The fact is people are not "purely donating because he's not white", and the fact that most white bullying victims don't also get crowd donations doesn't validate ANYTHING lol.

For the third time: donating because people think he's a poor refugee is TOTALLY different from people donating purely because the kid in question is NOT-white. I'm not sure why this is being denied?
 
People are likely to be donating because it's gone viral, it's the "current event" that everyone is talking about, social pressures and just the fact that the majority of decent people just flat out hate racists. This hurts the racists more than it helps the kid tbh.

You're doing that thing where you make things up again. I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying however that there's a distinct probability that any kid getting picked on is poor. Given that poverty is a reason some people are picked on resulting from the social disadvantages it presents then it's a fair bet said bullying victim is poor. So...the only other thing this kid has going his way in why he's receiving a large amount of money vs any other kid is the fact that he is not native. Ergo his race is the defining factor, or a key factor at the very least.

Also he's not a refugee. He's an economic migrant.

I disagree. It appears to me like a liberalised form of racism, where more 'compassion' is shown to non whites.

Pretty sad they are also attacking his sister. With everything appearing in Huddersfield lately, doesn't exactly paint a picture of where I want to bring my daughter up even if I do love the town. All I hear in our local news is youth crime, violent crime with weapons, firearms also are making headlines more than I'd like and then that disgusting group of people ... most people even hate our council and town centre shopping.
 
I think people are turning this into some race vs race thing purely because that's how their mind thinks and this triggers them. It's so obvious especially from some of the more "established" posters (not you).

More compassion?
So what about ALL domestic UK charity work involving helping children? Are you saying this fundraiser trumps all domestic UK charity work?

He will already get exactly the same level of help and charity other children in the country do. Why does he need another £100k on top of that.

I don’t care how much you dress this up, it’s utterly ridiculous.
