    Default Cultural enrichment in action

    http://www.washingtonblade.com/blog/...fm?blog_id=523

    Of course no arrests but that is normal when the culprits are from the sandlands.

    Where exactly does your conclusion come from that the police treated this case differnetly because the "culprits are from the sandlands" (as you so charmingly put it)?

    The blog entry says nothing that leads to such a conclusion - actually it does not even mention that no arrests have been made.
    The author says only the following:
    I filed formal charges with the police, who had come to the scene quickly, though I have little hope our attackers will ever be identified.
    If I posted some article about a person being beaten up by a person who is not from the "sandlands" would that serve as evidence that the police is more lenient with towards "white" people?

    Because it works that way in lalaland.

    The author clearly mentions it here : 'The man, who looked in his 20s, had Moroccan features and spoke with a heavy accent, murmured something about "fucking fags."

    But really, when isn't it one of those.

    I was aware of the part you quoted - maybe I should rephrase what I meant.

    What would the police have done differently had this one guy the blogger described not been of North African origin?

    Well they would have arrested them. Or at least they would have tried.

    Lots of issues come from intolerent bigots who come from abroad. Wasn't some Islamic film maker killed recently for a movie about violence towards women in Arabia?

    Actually, he wasn't Islamic, but the grand grand son of a well known dutch painter whose I don't remember the name.

    And yes, muslims seem to be forgiven more easily than white people, because as soon as you arrest a muslim for a 'minor thing', you're sure that you'll be called a racist, or even a neo-nazi or a fascist by all the left wing extremists and by all the muslim population. That's what happens in France at least.

    You racist!!!

    Just kidding. I don't think our cops are afraid to arrest anyone. They get called racist and Neo-Nazi no matter who they arrest, so they just don't worry about it.

    Reprehensible in the extreme.

    In Montreal, the nearest major city to me, there was a spat of gay bar attacks by skinheads a few years back. These malevolent little Nazi losers would rush into a gay bar in packs of a dozen or more, hit people, break things, cause great fear and chaos and then retreat to beneath the rocks from whence they came.

    Although I grew up with a gay brother and knew many, many gay men, and considered many of them as close and trusted friends of mine, I never got used to seeing them kiss in public (which I almost never saw to be honest). When I do see gay men kissing in public, though I have as liberal an attitude as anyone could have, my first thought is "get a room you shmucks".

    This, however, is the limit of my "hostility". If I saw a gay man being attacked, I would immediately stand by his side and enunciate to the attackers, Kennedy-esque, "Ich bin ein homosexual!" (And hopeful my brother's ex would be there. He was in the Marines and would be quite a handful in a scrap.)
