The thing is, if blacks in an area are the ones comitting the crimes, then the records will show that the majority of offences are comitted by them. That's not racist, that's just factual.
What would be racist is if the police concentrated on an ethnic group, but only a small fraction of those were actually comitting an offence, then the reason for targetting them is racial not crime prevention.
If there's an area where whites are the main criminals, I would expect the police to target white people more than other ethnic groups.

What kind of person would do that? "I'm going to break the law because the police stopped me last week and asked me who I was"

For managers, not much of a turnover. you've got to remember that most of the floor staff are part time student workers who are doing it for extra money. However, those who are doing it for a living quickly get rewarded.

Was this because the employers were racist? Who knows, I can't really see how it could be. More likely that they just felt it would help people to live next to others from their same ethnic origins.
The second one talks about the problems with single faith schools, which by definition could be considered racist in that if you aren't of their faith you can't go.
Doesn't really cover rascist discrimination in state schools which the majority of kids in this country go to.
As for not laughing, want me to send incog over with her ticket stick?
