Think about where the blame really lies.
Well the Police have to shoulder some of the blame.
You became 'thought Police' and were ready to pounce and still are the second any perceived event or word caused 'Offence' under hate crime laws.
Ironic really that most of the time the people supposedly 'offended' were not offended at all and actually said that the Police actions would be devisive and only serve to widen tensions.
What we have now is a divided society with even MORE deep rooted suspicions about each other than before.
Why? Because in order to avoid accusations of racism it's actually easier to shy away and not have any contact.
