The last part strikes me as especially racist and quite biased actually, why are they being filmed as if they have links to the story? Like.. I would understand if they were showing normal people minding their own business, but there were no white belgian people either, only arabic-looking men and hijabi women as I mentioned beforehand. Shocking and disgraceful for a news station in 2015 to do this.

I only hope this was poor reporting on their part, and nothing malicious, because it sure did come across as pretty racist.

Is it possible that they were just filming people going about their business as news reports often do. And that they didn't want to wait for a 'normal' person to come into the shot as that would be quite racist also?

I do feel sometimes people look a bit hard for isms. I seriously doubt the BBC were being racist, especially given how much they have been talking about how Muslims and such shouldn't be blamed for the recent atrocities
