Sorry but the most hateful racist rubbish i ever heard didn't come out of the mouth of a white person and whilst i have known many racist white people i have also known as many non white racists. We need to be more mature about this issue in the UK and not be scared of it or allow it to be a one race aspect. Racism is present in every community and is practised by every community and we should start debating it with that in mind instead of allowing it to be presumed it is a white to all other races problem.

This case was as much about race as lust and greed and the case and punishment should have reflected that to send the message loud and clear that any form of racism from any group to another is not tolerated in the UK.
