kimba   10 #265 Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Yes but what about the 25% who're Asian isn't that dissproportianate regarding their percentage of the population?That is the whole point isn't it. That and the victims of that 25% being majority white ?  Add gangs to the mix instead of individuals and the figures are more startling and why it needs addressing with rational debate.

Frank Sidney   11 #266 Posted July 8, 2011 I've done the maths. half unknown= 50% White = 38% Asian =25%  total 113%  erm, spot the (?deliberate?) mistake?  I thought that. But that's what it said. But it did say "about half" and not half. I was asking what's the percentage of Asians in the population x the 25% this will give a true picture..

0114owl1867 Â Â 10 #268 Posted July 8, 2011 I don't agree with the 'make a stand' sentiment because that implies some sort of conflict and that's not what we need to get on but certainly we need to do some waking up. Â sorry it came across like that, i don't want conflict either, but it makes you wonder how bad is it going to get before there is some kind of conflict ? - hopefully not in my lifetime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

kimba   10 #270 Posted July 8, 2011 sorry it came across like that, i don't want conflict either, but it makes you wonder how bad is it going to get before there is some kind of conflict ? - hopefully not in my lifetime I know what your saying, hopefully things won't get worse in this country because we in the UK know that the likes of ethnic cleansing is morally wrong, but how many previously good nations ended up down that road when there economies stalled and there was mass unemployment and people in poverty ? At some stage there must be a tipping point where that sort of thing happens and we must realize communities need to be strong and stick together, putting aside differences, otherwise conflict can turn into genocide, so we should be careful how situations are handled now to save problems in the future.
