I said a minority if your read the post properly.
Please do not patronise me, I have every right to feel pride or shame in my Country,whatever may be the case, that is actually for me to decide how I feel.
Furthermore, keep telling yourself there are a tiny number of cases, these cases are things our media do not want people to hear.
I actually work as a Solicitor and I know the things I have heard about and also have even worked on as to helping prepare cases for Court.
Many are currently in waiting to be heard in Crown Court too.
You can also choose to ignore if you wish,the fact that the Police have even said there is a substantial increase in reported hate and xenophobic/racist crime since the referendum.
These are the things Kizzy clearly has come across and then myself more from the work I do.
Not all is rosy or at present even nice in the English garden at present,and it is in England where the bulk of such hate incidents are on the increase more than anywhere else and that should be a concern for everyone in England, no matter how they voted.
Oh and it was 38% of Scots who voted to leave,not 39%, also English is not a race.
It is one Country of the UK, nothing else and I do not hate the English,I am English.
I again state I am against and ashamed of the 'minority' as I stated, of those who are 'English' who have crawled out the woodwork as to this referendum with their racist, xenophobic and hate related prejudices.
In whatever form those prejudices are.

You have no way of knowing if the people carrying out the assaults even voted in the referendum at all!
You say it's in England the bulk of these crimes are reported, how can you know that for sure? Do you have access to the details or statistics of those kinds of crimes reported in the other countries of the union?
Since the referendum there has actually an effort to urge people to report hate, so it's very hard to say if the rise in reports is a rise in the crime, or a rise in the reporting of the crime and a rise in awareness.
We should always be concerned about any hate crime but trying to make it an issue of Brexit is probably fairly naive. There are always people in every society with those views.
Do I think you are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill? Yes I hope so.
