Where to begin.
Let's start in Bournemouth, where people were far from social distancing, indulging in anti social behaviour and littering (literally leaving their shit behind)
Overwhelmingly these people were white. Many people have criticised this type of behaviour (me included), but what people have not done is claim that their behaviour is because they are white or an indicator of how white people in general behave. Or to put it another way no one (and quite correctly) has blamed their behaviour on their ethnicity.
Now when it comes to people from the BAME community who are not following social distancing rules, it is their ethnicity, religion, culture which is the determinant of their behaviour.
And then they point the figure at the people who expose the difference in the way various races etc are treated as the intolerant ones.
