Do you not regard criminals as turds? Especially violent ones?

A white or pink coloured foreign criminal is still a criminal, as is a black or brown skinned one.

Otherwise, non-criminal foreigners OR Britons are merely people.

I am a 'Person of Colour' myself and the son of an immigrant, so I am not being offensive to any others who are the same, I'm merely stating facts.

You keep telling yourself that Kirk

I am truly sorry that you feel this way Niamh because I am being truthful.

My point is that foreign criminals gravitate here because the pickings are richer and if they do get caught, our courts are more lenient, and if they are imprisoned, our prisons are like 5 star hotels compaed to the prisons back in their own countries. This being the case, there IS no real deterrent, and thus the INFLUX Continues unabated. I'm sorry, but that IS the way I see it.

The above points, by the way, are from an interview given by a Polish immigrant repeat offender who had just come out of jail here.

Well, I personally know plenty of Polish people, all hard working and lovely people. What you're saying about Polish people(or whatever nationality/nationalities) in general is highly offensive whether you're just talking about "the bad ones" or not. In situations like these I think it's always a good idea to put yourself in the shoes of those you're speaking about (which despite your claims of not including "the good ones" will always offend "the good ones" anyway) Like if you said "It was probably an Irish person, it usually is", I would find that offensive even if you put in your disclaimer of "I'm not saying all Irish people are scum bags but...."
