here is another example, a white settled non traveller or a white taxi driver commits a burglary, do any of us turn round and say, oh you cant trust those white non settled travellers and white taxi drivers they commit burglaries, no we do not, but if a travellers commits a burglary, then some people turn round and say oh those travellers they committ burglaries, they generalise from one or two occasions. of course that does not mean travellers do not committ burglaries, but so do taxi drivers or all sorts of people from different backgrounds including one sussex folk club organiser, who used to live in Lewes.
at the same time if i was harassed consistently by any individual whatever their ethnic group, I cannot say that my reaction would be any different from Tony Martin.
my attitude is this , I will try to give anyone a chance regardless of their colour,religion or ethnic group, i try not to prejudge.
