GMac 1,405 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Its about time the media highlighted the fact that racism is a far bigger problem than sectarianism. 4500 racist crimes compared with around 800 sectarian. The black and asian population of this country is tiny, making it even worse. Best little racist country in europe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't really enough non-white people in power to push that agenda ahead of that belonging to Scottish Thin Shane brigade.

(or possibly owned by one?)My original point still stands though, if it was a Rangers fans they would surely have told us! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 1250 such attacks, many in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Dundee where it is rife. The vast majority of the attacks carried out by white Scots.
