I don't think we need to address the issue of racism from anyone in this topic right now...
Im sure we're all mature enough to understand that it's possible to discuss the differences in the way coloured/ethnic/white people are treated, without being classed as racists.

We can change things by simply not giving anyone special treatment out of fear of being labelled prejudice/racist by the public. This would result in everyone being treated equally...
Not that we owe anyone anything, as we aren't treated fairly in many countries around the world. But we should ignore that and be the better people.

The government do need to sort out the problem, or they'll soon be faced with white people complaining that they're mistreated, rather than ethnic minorities etc...which means the problem transfers to us, citizens of our own country, which is just plain ridiculous.

I do however, think it's too late to be solved.
Or should I say, people are now so scared to do anything about it that they'll let it carry on.

As for Germaine Jackson, all I remember is him having a conversation purely orientated around him trying to comfort Shilpa..with no mention of Leo, just him insulting Jade and her mother to try and show his support for Shilpa.

And I don't think anyone else at the time recalled a mention of Leo? unless it's publically on video somewhere for me to watch.
