It seems to me that the problem with our multi racial society is the perception, among the white, British, community, that those who make the laws have forgotten to include them in the mix.

They feel, rightly or wrongly, that the law is slanted in favour of other ethnic groups, to their detriment.

It is this perception which tends to alienate, and whether true or not, it needs to be clearly addressed.

Unless our multiracial culture is demonstrably INCLUSIVE, it leaves the door open for racially motivated groups to foment unrest and intolerance, while ostensibly championing the cause of "The Native British Race".

Someone, I can't remember who, said "It's not what's true that counts, but what is perceived to be true". We need to ensure that what's perceived to be true IS true, and the BNP, among others, will lose its appeal.
