Yes, but you missed this one:
"Increase in overall searches"
Black: 38%
Asian: 36%
White: 17%
Source: Home Office
So rise in the number of searches on Blacks and Asians is *double* what it is for Whites.
Now consider this: "results on ethnicity and religion from the 2001 Census reveal that 87.5 per cent of the population of England and Wales (seven out of eight people) gave their ethnic group as White British." (The total UK population is given as 58.7 million)
http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2.../ethnicity.asp
Given those proportions, you'd expect 12.5% of terror law stop and searches to be on Black and Asians and others assuming no bias.
Except the total number of TLSS on Blacks and Asians is actually *twenty two percent* of the total number and the amount of searches on those groups is, as I said above, increasing twice as fast as those on Whites.

So lets look at it again, are Asians and blacks the ones that are really being victimised, or is it, the fact they are Asian and black that it makes the news?

Look at the above figures and ask yourself the question again.
