He’s not being patronising @faizashaheen. He’s simply stating the legal definition for a racist attack and why he thinks it’s problematic. But then, @ajcdeane is a white middle class man so I guess his opinion on a fact is worth less than yours, right?https://twitter.com/faizashaheen/status/957331726103207937 …

Not at all. I was making point that these statistics are defined by complainant, The responses (like yours) are - but x happened, so how can you question the numbers? (Anecdotal emotional response to statistical point) - you hurt my feelings - you are racist Counterproductive

Read the actual definition of race crime on the CPS website

It's lame to put this on the same level as someone who has been physically assaulted/fired/harassed/ murdered/honourkilled bc of racism. It's starting to look completely manipulated.

All I'm doing is refusing to sit by while prominent pro-Brexit pundits disacknowledge the racist abuse some people have endured as a direct result of the referendum.
