[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The video off murder of an english student recently didn't help.  He was handcuffed while bleeding out while the police officers denied he was stabbed by an ethnic minority.  The police were called because said person claimed they were verbally abused.

The government is trying to clamp down on these videos due to racial tensions.[/quote]

The murderer falsely claimed racism and his family covered up the crime.  It was an ugly and horrific incident in which the outrage is justified but also being fanned by anti-immigrationists.

Ironically the Sikh murderer was born in the UK and the Polish victim was an immigrant.[/quote]
..which clearly shows that the outrage is about a brown person attacking a white person.[/quote]

More than that, in the UK, there's been various coverups by the police of sexual assualts by minority communites and censorship by the government related to it. Remember last summers protests? 
You may also remember the Reform Uk party winning a ton of local elections just last month (largest by percentage now) and how this was of concern for Prime Ministers Keir Starmer's party for the next parlementary election season.

The far right have been sweeping the world, and it's not about " coverups by the police of sexual assualts by minority communites".  Japan's far right party has grown in popularity. They don't have an issue with "police coverups of crimes committed by minorities".  Heck, we don't have that problem either, really.  Look at the incarceration rate of minorities.

This is mostly about economics or pure racism.

Native born people are upset because they think immigrants are taking resources from them.  That's why  Brexit passed.

The Japanese are highly xenophobic.  Heck, they don't even want Koreans or Chinese who have lived there for generations to get citizenship.  Some of these people were kidnapped by the Japanese for forced labor during the colonial period.

Minorities have been scapegoated and othered throughout history.  The past 30 years we saw the pendulum swing one way where countries allowed in more immigrants, mostly due to economic reasons. But, now that the global economy sucks (mainly due to the rise in corporate power), and natives need to find a scapegoat.

This is why populism has become so popular globally.[/quote]
