I bet you would be shocked by the figures in my area!

Living in a Welsh valley town I can probably count the number of Black people on one hand, and the number of Asians on the other. I do however find it slightly amusing (Perhaps not the right word) when the local paper gives descriptions of people the police are looking for that have commited crimes.

This week we have 2 Asians posing as water board officials and robbing pensioners, and 2 weeks ago we had 2 Asians holding up a bus at gunpoint to rob it on a mountain road.

I guess any Asian living or travelling in this area would expect to get stopped, after all what would be the point of stopping a white person for these crimes.

(Not being picky or racist just giving a local example)
