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. -----Original Message----- From: leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org [mailto:leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org] On Behalf Of Ian Murray Sent: 09 August 2011 08:29 To: Mark Humphries Cc: Leeds List Subject: Re: [LU] Riots Do we think there's a racial element to this?
