Britain?s Unseen Race Riots
If this had been white on black violence, there would have been a media feeding frenzy and the newspapers would have been full of reconstructions, analysis and instant opinions and recriminations. Instead, there has been near silence. The reason is obvious. The cult of multiculturalism holds that all minorities are victims of the majority, and therefore minorities must always be blameless. When two minorities start beating each other up, therefore, politically correct Britain is paralysed. By definition, it cannot divide up the actors in the drama into good guys and bad guys. There can be no minority bad guys. It dare not investigate what actually happened, who started it and who was to blame because no minority can ever be blamed without incurring the dreaded labels of ?racism? and ?prejudice?. Furthermore, the fact that Pakistanis were involved adds a further radioactive dimension. For Pakistani, read ?Muslim? ?and that?s a road down which the media?s finest refuse to travel, for fear of what they might be forced to discover and the consequences for them that might follow.
