The people who jump to the conclusion that an attack is racist without actually looking at the facts are idiots.

I would disagree that an attack on a black person is almost certain to be a racist atack. Funnily enough there has to be a racial motive for a crime to classed as racially motivated and the Police do not categorise simply on the basis of people of different races being involved.
But whatever, it remains the fact (sorry to say this again Russ
) that it is racism from whites against ethnic minorities that is easily the biggest problem so whilst it's important for all racist crime to be treated equally, it is also important not to give undue prominence to a much, much smaller issue. And this is why I question why so many threads appear fixated on such issues, rather than say, the increasing number of racially motivated attacks against Muslims, Jews, Kurds etc.
