Or am I a racist for calling you one?
There's nothing wrong in questioning your thoughts about matters...an open mind is a good thing.

women being surrounded, abused and robbed by immigrants, who have no idea or respect for basic western values and to tell it like it is, is to be racist. as you bleeding liberals would say........
oh the irony.
nice to see a sacrificial lamb getting the chop for the criminal inaction of the police and the media though.

It's not racist to point out facts, but it would be racist to suggest that ALL immigrants would act in such a manner.

I thought ALL the immigrants were escaping wars and tyranny and coming to Europe for no other reason?

Of course they would have some in their numbers that are odious pricks coming over for nefarious reasons, just as with any other demographic but that's no need to tar them all with the same brush.

It's very telling when people need to resort to strawmen to argue their point.

Quite a large scale thing though, possibly down to the difference in cultures and how women are viewed/treated. Such a large scale influx was always going to bring problems, anyone who thought differently was sadly mistaken. Can you imagine the reaction if the boot was on the other foot?
Me and some mates got attacked in France back in the 90's by some north African lads. Probably because we were speaking English. They hurled insults in broken English then it all kicked off. I wouldn't tar everyone with the same brush but perhaps you could also consider that some of the immigrants may think that we are all scum.

Right, such clashes are reasonably likely. The point I am making, again, is that it is wrong to judge all of them by the actions of a minority. Why and how is that even contentious?

You are of course an immigrant yourself, so doubtless can see things from that perspective, on issues such as integration v multi-culturalism. In the UK, we appear to have got into a typical hotch potch of poorly thought out policies, where decisions are made up on a whim....sometimes it sort of works ok, in a muddled British way, but increasingly not. I think back to when the law was changed with regards to wearing crash helmets on mbikes and scooters...the Sikhs argued this discriminated against them for wearing turbans...so the law was changed to accommodate them, all very British. With hindight it would have been better to say....tough shit that's the law, you will have to do something to accommodate it.

So your response to my initial post was just utterly pointless then? Okey dokey.

Although it is reasonable and right to point out that labelling certain races and creeds as all the same is ridiculous, the fact is that people do think that way and whilst some migrants will commit vile acts(like the German incidents)that fear will only continue to grow amongst British people.
History has shown that people cannot live together in harmony from different religions and cultures so problems are bound to continue and will more than likely escalate. Troubled future ahead....

Wind your neck in, you just don't tend to acknowledge anyone else's opinions. Not tarring everyone with the same brush but there will be a lot more of this kind of thing to come.

I acknowledge them, that doesn't mean I have to agree with them. Besides, if you have no issue with my initial statement then I'm not quite sure what you're even debating here. It all seems very pointless, I'll leave you to it.
