Eugghh tell me about it. Since Brexit happened racist attacks and abuse went up 46% in the following month. A Spanish man recently got his skull fractured by a guy who told him to "speak english", and a pregnant woman was kicked in the stomach not too far from where i live because she was muslim. Its fucking disgusting. I hate living in the UK now..it's embarrassing for the majority of us who are reasonable people. The same for the racists in the US for giving Americans a bad name.
It is a very sad state of affairs. As an Englishman living in Scotland, I have to say I find Scotland a much more tolerant and accepting place than England. Still not perfect by any means, but better.
@Oneangryman: Strange how there can be that much difference only a few miles north. Well i envy you lot, theres talks that you'll get to have your own referendum.

@Outoforbits: it's is strange, not sure how a second referendum would go, probably depends how Brexit works out
@oneangryman The reason that I posted this illustration is because the source was from the Washington post which I respect as a valid author of truth as much as we know it.
I do think that your observation is incisive and interesting
I think the data from this illustration could provide be used as a source for a lot of important questions that need to be answered

I lived in Northern Ireland for years and the continuation if the troubles and sectarian attitudes is largely associated with more deprived areas. Seems like we turn on people who might appear different to ourselves in tough times.
@Oneangryman: For the current US election many have reference back to the early 20th century and the know nothing party that persecuted immigrants back then.
The US has persecuted almost every single Emma grant wave that there has been.
The Catholic religion has been persecuted here and I think Jack Kennedy was the first Catholic president ever. It is sad when a nation that in the grades in his persecuted like today somethings never change.

My old stomping ground ranked in the highest, figures! We have a big skin-head population, sicking, really.
@justmerae Sorry to hear that. This came from the Washington Post so I assigned it some validity.

@Pfuzylogic: I borrowed a book, at the public Library, there once about the Holocaust and out fell a leaflet for a skinhead group. My sister the same year got on her doorstep.
@justmerae: That is frightening how they intentionally promulgate that neoNazi racist thinking. You would have thought that we would have learned how evil Hitler became and how useless that thinking was.
