Why do people turn a blind eye to the blatant fact that ethnic minorities are more likely to commit crime than?

joan k	Because the do gooders don't believe it's happening. They see multiculturalism through rose tinted spectacles. Perhaps when they have been involved in a bombing they will change their minds.

BNP Voter	Statistically it is poor people who commit the most crime. In many areas ethnic people live in poorer areas. We aren't making excuses, we just realise that problems such as crime go deeper and are more complex than the colour of someones skin. Paul R- For a man that says "the BNP's crimes aren't relevant to today because they were in the past", you really shouldn't be using links from 2003. Hypocritical, don't you think?

keni	I guess 500 out of the 600 or so MPs are guilty of taking our money for things which are not needed to do their job. About a dozen are ethnic minorities. white-collar crime is also white-skin crime

MrHairyman	The fact is that poor people are more likely to commit crime, anywhere in the world. PAUL R: Nice to see you rolling out that Nat Geo article from 4 years ago - again. Here's a more recent one, pointing out there have been black people in England for the last 1,800 years. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/01/070124-british-genes_2.html

THE BNP ARE LIARS	Any proof for that bold statement?

Oswald W	That is because you are not getting a cross section of the country from which they emigrate ; rather we are getting a HUGE SLICE OF THEIR UNWANTED AND SLUM DWELLERS. When you go on holiday abroad it is so obvious that they see a westerner less as a person, but more as MONEY.....

Patrick B	For the same reason that nobody points out that serial killers, rapists, child molesters, and embezzellers are predominantly white.

smedrik	Actually poor people are more likely to commit a crime.

Pro re nata	In many western countries ethnics appear to feature more in crime figures because, they are more likely to live in deprived area's, less likely to succeed in education and less likely to get a job, not because they are black or whatever colour because the societies we live in favour whites. troll.

Sophia_3491	People don't turn a blind eye - i just did a whole flippin sociology essay on it. So nerr.

Fakename	You cant say anything without being called a racist anymore.

Arcane	I smell a troll...
