not in the way I think you mean however 80% of the rioters are young black/
mixed race youths.  It cant be an excuse though

it's more a product of environment (slums of Tottenham, hackney) than actual
skin pigmentation and traditionally the poorer areas have the immigrants or
2nd generation immigrants.  

It's always been the same.  I remember reading about the slums of
Wolverhampton in the 1860s full of Irish immigrants living 9 to a room in
filthy conditions facing racism and hostility from the locals.  History
repeats itself,  the communities eventually blend then some new group come
in.

Do we think there's a racial element to this?
