Zoe to answer your question its a known fact that they dont class crimes against white people as racist look at the murder of Keith Brown clearly a racially motivated murder but it is not classed as that and never will be.

If an incident is believed by the victim to be racially motivated or there is racist language used, then the crime legally becomes defined as a racist incident. Thats it! It's regardless of the skin colour or ethnic origin of the victim. Anyone can be the victim of a racist crime.

If you beleive that a crime is racially motivated then when you report it to Police tell them. They must report the incident as a hate crime and it will be flagged and investigated by specially skilled and trained Police Officers.

Highlighting the Keith Brown case is unjustified especially as the Jury have not brought their verdict back yet.

I was arrested as a 12 year old for racial assualt. I was set upon by a black gang who were rascist to me and I dealt with them, without even speaking, and was arrested for racial assault. I claimed to the police they were rascist to me and the officer said it is impossible to be rascist to a white person in the eyes of the law. He said that you can only be rascist to ethnic minorities. I was never charged, but was wrongfully arrested and believe that this is an outrage. I live at a university and am discusted to see how racist the indians and black people are there. The indians are themost rascist of all, I was deemed unfit to date an indian girl by her father, as i am english. They also hate black people and make such derogatory remarks. Even in the news this week 2 black british girls were stopped from performing a dance an a indian cricket event as they were deemed n**gers by the indians. It is the english that have respect, tolerance, and a belief that cultures should be encouraged and developed. Another point i will like to make is the issue of multiculturalism with is meant to be a mix of cultures. Here in england the cultures are seperated and isolated... indians in gravesend, muslims in high wycombe, africans in brixton, polish in lambeth. This is not multiculturalism, it is seperated cultures. It is different cultures in different places, not a mix.

Funny how people are just looking at the race issue. What about the homophobics and the domestic violence? Anyone who makes another persons life hell because of sexuality or race, deserves what they get. What goes around comes around. If yo are a good person you won't get nicked.

of course you cant be racist to white people the law needs to be changed for this issue if we call a black person a **** then we are classed as racist but they can sing and rap yo **** this and yo **** that and earn money from it this country needs to sort these silly problems out NOW before its to late which personelly i think it is so the only other way is by voting bnp but then your classed as a racist this country is CRAZY

another thing my 15 year old daughter was assaulted by a black neighbour a woman in her 40s we called the police and guess what / they wanted to nick me for shouting my mouth off at them when they didnt do anything about the assault even though this woman had drawn blood and marked my daughter they didnt come to us first either they went straight to her first got her story then went to leave so i shouted at them that it was me that phoned them and if it was the other way around i would have been nicked they knew i was right in what i was saying but there answer was our hands are tied because of the political corrective views so now you know that they can call us anything and get away with it she called us white honkys and that was in front of the police lol how much more is this country got to take before it all kicks off

If any Police officer at the scene of an incident refuses to report an incident as racially motivated they can be subject to disciplinary action.

The MaCPherson Report gave the Police (and everyone else) the standard for defining a racist incident which is: 'any incident that is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person'.

If a Police officer refuses to accept your perception of the incident or says white poeple can't be victims of racism, take their shoulder number and then demand that a Duty Officer attends the scene immediately.

Report the Police Officer to their Duty officer and see how fast that Police Officer leaves the venue and finds themselves working behind a desk.

Anyone can be a victim of racism and the Police have a duty to investigate all alleged racist incidents fully.

Don't misunderstand me, eventually the outcome of the investigation may be that there is not enough evidence to support the allegations, but that is down to the investigating officers to resolve, not the responsive officers attending the initial scene.

And one final thing, if an incident does occur, don't make it worse, keep a calm head and don't respond to provocation, just record everything that happens and give the Police the best chance to deal with the incident by giving them an accurate summary of the incident.

ok thanks james ill keep that in mind. Not sure if that helps 12 year olds innocently arrested for racial assualt. Not sure if i would do all that.
