"In 2002/03, adults from a Mixed race or Asian background were more likely than those from other ethnic groups to be victims of crime in England and Wales. Almost half (46 per cent) of adults of Mixed race had been the victim of a crime in the previous 12 months. This compared with 30 per cent of Asians. Black adults and those from the †˜Chinese or otherââ‚ƚ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ group experienced similar levels of crime to White people." For example

Are we trying to detract from the point about the perpetrators of crime? Perhaps the crimes against minorities were committed by minorities? Does that make them more or less acceptable?
