Personally I know of none ever gone anywhere further than increasing resentment because of precisely this negative discrimination.

If the shoe was on the other foot and this country turned to an alternative foriegn rule and culture, there imo still would not be any such thing as racism against whites, yet it is a big problem allready.
ie Britain became a muslim state you would wear what you were authorised to wear and obey many other laws , regardless of race color or cultural background.
I agree, If this was a Muslim state the only other countries that do have Islam as their main religion often do have restrictions of peoples rights but that is more to do with their governments and not so much to do with a individual Muslims beliefs. But we are not going to become a Muslim state and one of the strengths of our country is that we are meant to be accepting of other cultures.

The point I was trying to make is that we do not know anything about racism between black and whites. In fact, even on this forum the only 'facts' are based on stories people have heard or experiences they have had. That is not fact and does not show the state of an entire nation. So unless anyone has some actual hard facts about this issue I suggest that it does not come up again.

As for the girl, we donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t know the whole story. The only side of the story we seem to be getting is hers, for all we know she may have a history of causing trouble and is trying to play the victim. The family are very quick to try and turn this into an issue. They are claiming discrimination, refusing to fix the hair and are trying to get money out of the issue. Actions that make me question the true intent of the 'victim'. Is the real reason they didnââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t fix her hair more to do with the publicity and the money than it is to do with any moral principle? Finally, this is a whole lot of nothing. The fact that the media has chosen to follow this story is because it is a unique story; if this was happening up and down the country then they wouldnââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t have given her the publicity.
