The race issue aside: why did 3 blokes from London go to the Midlands to chuck acid on a toddler? I mean, huh? (PS I have a 3 year old son so you can guess my feelings on this one.) Apparently, (see link in post above), it is all to do with a family of Eastern European gypsies - woman and 3 children leave husband/partner and moved to safe house in midlands, gets found, family members come up to take revenge. They think that the acid may have been meant for the mother, but got the child instead. She and other children have now been moved on again to another 'safe' house.

This kind of "traditional" cr@p will usually get filtered out in time. Look at certain areas of the Asian population. "Honour" killings, block voting... all these things will be looked back on by the next generation with considerable embarrassment.

The ex pats living in Spain are probably referred to as immigrants by the Spanish. As a matter of interest have you ever posted anything on this site that is positive about Britain or are you just here to whinge non stop I consider my self an immigrant living and working in Spain. I think expat is used by the nations inhabitants to describe people who have left their country of origin and gone and worked or retired abroad, I.e we call British people living abroad expats just like, maybe, the eastern Europeans call their citizens expats when living abroad.

Maybe the fact the victims are also foreigners the bigots will have a little less compassion? or at least they don't need to get angry anymore, well until they read the next daily mail scare story....

No. The problem is that virtually every negative story you see is related in some way to immigrants.

In fact, references to race, religion, culture, ethnicity are usually hidden these days. Such as the 'man' who stabbed thirteen people on a German bus or the Toronto 'gunman' who killed several people and wounded loads of others. It took days before the press mentioned their names and even then, there is no mention of their obvious Muslim religious background.

So is their ethnicity important to the story? and do you react differently based on skin colour?

However, if revenge attacks are more prevalent amongst Gypsy or Traveller communities would it be reported that that is the case?
