You do what most police forces do, try and work with the comunity, showing them that there is a way other than crime.

But if it was last week, and the week before, *and* last month *and* your friends *and* your relations and all just because you're black, perhaps you might think a little bit differently.
More likely you'll just end up resenting the police.

No, who move away from the area, or get themselves careers in something they want to do, like become estate agents, or policemen.

So you don't think it was a case of the companies having a batch of asians arriving in one go, so bulk buy houses and fill them. Then a batch of west indians due, so again, bulk buy houses for them to live in, and fill them up?
You think that the employers were racist and went to the specific effort of segregating groups rather than dumping them all in on each other and sitting back laughing while they fight amongst themselves and have to take time off work because of their injuries?
