| It is important to see and understand Pete's fears. He, like too many people in the UK, associate their fears of 'other' (foreign/muslim/) people with all that they see wrong with he world. It is an easy way to blame 'them' and, in doing so, imply that 'we' are the civilized, rational and sane ones. Rather than investigate the possibility that our culture/society encourages economic disparity and ,therefore, social inequality on varying levels, both of which certainly could be said to contribute to any perceived increase in crime. The preferred implication is that it is an inherent quality in those with different skin tones or cultural backgrounds. Unfortunately this 'theory' can be readily backed up and 'proved' by citing articles in our media. A media that very much invests itself in perpetuating this narrative. |
