More recent migrants get help with free language classes, access to benefits, social housing, healthcare, etc. Britain bends over backwards to help them to help themselves. If they, 2nd/3rd generation immigrants as well as more recent migrants, choose not to make the most of that free education in order to help themselves, the same as the rest of us, then they are responsible for their own situation. What part of that was not clear?

They are still a lot better off here economically than they would have been in the countries they or their parents originally came from, for all the above reasons, but, despite that, many still try to blame Britain for their situation. Britain has given them the same chances as everyone else. There comes a point when people are responsible for their own success - but instead try to blame the country. It's a cop-out.

Did I say gangs sprang up overnight, no. But we have clearly had a bigger problem with gang culture in recent years and most of what we see on the news is related to non-white groups. The recent increase in sex attacks from Asian gangs is a particular worry and demonstrates an unacceptable attitude towards women - there is no denying this has been a big problem all over Europe recently and is directly related to migrants. But of course, due to PC puppets, we can't talk about that so the problem does not get addressed properly. That is racism.

Attempting to give preferential treatment to one group over another by continually making excuses and blaming those that gave them a better chance in the first place also has a part to play in people running out of patience and tolerance.

You do know that real life isn't like one of those films where a middle class white teacher changes the lives of a bunch of minority students by teaching them about Shakespeare right? You're also really oversimplifying things in order to bash non-white people.

The government is to blame for a rise in gang activity. When the economy is bad crime rates go up, when it's difficult to make a living honestly crime rates go up. In areas with a lot of gang activity it's difficult not to get caught up and dragged into it. I don't think anyone's 'blaming Britain' the government is to blame and if you can't differentiate between the government and Britain itself then that's another worrying issue in itself.

There's a focus on non-white gangs in the media because it riles up people like you who look for reasons to hate on people who aren't white. It's the same reason why Muslim responses against terrorism never get media attention because the media wants to go with the 'Muslims aren't going enough to prevent terrorism' angle because they want to create hysteria against them. Your prejudices are being used against you to suit the media's agenda. It's also funny that you keep banging on about PC when you are one of the most PC members on here but you don't realise it.

Nobody is attempting to give preferential treatment to a certain race, I'm just asking you to open your eyes and realise that the issue of gangs is not a race based issue but you won't do that since you feel the need to justify your hatred rather than accept the fact that you are quite simply racist. I'm talking about gang culture as a whole, I'm acknowledging all it's aspects but you only want to talk about the parts that don't involve white people because the reality of gang culture doesn't reflect the points you are trying to make.
