How you can interpret my comment as 'stereotyping' is beyond me - a criminal is a criminal is a criminal. Because you wanted to draw attention to most crime in Parson Cross being committed by white people. Which isn’t surprising as most people living there are white. You are stereotyping people living there as troublemakers. If you made a similar comment about Fir Vale you would be called racist by some. its deprivation that causes much crime, not skin colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cba to go back and reread posts, but all I meant, and you seem to want to say otherwise - your 'right' I suppose - was that most low-level criminal activity/misbehaving is performed by locals, be it on PX/Arbothorne/Dore, wherever.

The 'stereotyping' comment, however, is totally wrong and an invention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
