I live in London and racism is everywhere, Most of the racism is faced towards white people however of different nationalities than English. In many places I've seen a lot of black people abuse and discriminate white immigrants. I myself was discriminated by the black community in my school for having a foreign accent, most times I was called a polish cunt, even though I'm from Latvia which has barely anything to do with Poland. A lot of grown up English men also "hate" the "Polish" (or so they think) community that comes to England to "steal their jobs" when all these immigrating people are doing is trying to get a better life in better living conditions; these immigrants work harder for lower pay, so why shouldn't company's choose to hire them over someone else?
Point of the matter is, Racism is still everywhere, right now I think Racism is directed more towards White and Asian nationalities, rather than Black.
As for the thread itself, You'd think of me as racist if I said it's black youth that are responsible for this mess, but that is the truth. It's not just black people involved in the riots, there are people of all nationalities here, but these black youth are the main trouble makers here in England and the areas that are filled with them, I.E.: Croydon, Brixton, Clapham were the first to get attacked. Plus all the images and videos show that it is them on the streets, the facts speak for themselves.
If you lived here you would understand what I mean. The poorer areas of London are mainly filled with Black people. In these poorer areas, they don't educate themselves properly, in these poorer schools of theirs a lot of them don't get their grades because they choose to mess around rather than study, and its these people that start trouble, and then follow the criminals, looters, and others who get peer pressured into it.
