Are you also aware of the number of cases reported where the criminal appears to be British? Or White? Or in the country completely legally and working/studying?
Do you mean 'white' or 'British'?

It is very difficult to answer the points that you have carefully extracted, my broad view is that we have:
Foreign criminals, those that enter the country either illegally as asylum seekers or illegal immigrants and commit crimes. I also include in this group those that have obtained a visa to legally visit this country, and those coming here from countries that do not require a visa.
British criminals I split into groups, there are the british criminals that are born here and there are the british criminals that are of foreign descent who have been granted british citizenship.
For me there is another group, and those are second/third generation british that are born to UK citizens. Reports of foreign looking british citizens often state that they may have fled overseas to country x where they have family ties.
Why would I find it interesting to know about foreigners committing crime? Well, I believe the facts should be reported and not withheld for any politically correct reasons.

And as for the BBC be racist because of what you say happens on Crimewatch is absolute rubbish, if the crime has been commited by a Black person, should they put a white person in its place for the photo fit just to balance it out!
You watch Road wars,street crime uk ect and you will see very few black people if at all, are these programme makers ever going to be accused of criminalizing white people??

I still don't understand your logic. I for example am not worried about how my neighbours are going to pay their gas bill, I am more concerned with paying my own. Perhaps that is how we differ ?
The UK has a legal system to deal with criminals, Spain has a legal system to deal with criminals. As a UK citizen my concerns are that the UK legal system deals adequately to protect citizens of the UK, how the Spanish legal system deals with criminals has no direct impact on myself or other UK citizens.
Although I watch very little TV, I would expect the reason why you see very few Black people on Road wars is because vehicle crime has been traditionally a white crime involving police chases. These people are on a joyride and get a buzz from being chased by the police, whereas foreign criminals stealing cars to strip for parts or export are careful not to draw attention to themselves.
