That of course is quite right.

Percentage wise you're much more likely to be a victim of crime if you're from a non-white background.

I was just trying to dispel the myth that the race laws we have are there to protect only one group of people.

They aren't.

They apply to everyone equally.

Like, if you work it the other way, say there are 10,000 Asians in a community and 100,000 whites .... then showing that 50 Asians were victims of racial abuse, then that is 0.05 percent of whites that have attacked.

If the figure for whites is 50, (half of the victims) then that is .69 percent of Asians that have attacked.
