15 year-old Henry Webster had his skull fractured when he was attacked with a hammer by a gang of Asian youths. Now the parents are angry because they claim the attack was racist.
Do you notice anything here? Why isn't this front page news? Stephen Lawrence was. Anthony Walker was. OK, I know they both died whereas luckily Henry Webster didn't, but this is a vicious and brutal assault with clear racist undertones to it. Why was it relegated 15 pages into the Daily Mail? Why not make a fuss about this?
Simple. The attack was by a minority on a white boy. Our media aren't interested unless a white man despicably kills a black man in cold blood. As far as they are concerned, racist violence only matters when it's the other way around.
It doesn't even matter if this attack WAS racist or just a random act of thuggery. Just a black boy being found dead is enough to suggest to the media that he was killed by a racist. Even if, just like Damilola Taylor, it DOES turn out to have been manslaughter by two black boys. Yet we couldn't hear enough about how the killing was "racist" to begin with, even with no evidence. Somehow, the papers thought racist murder was worse than regular murder.
But when Asians attack white people...meh.
