Why Scotland may have avoided far right unrest (www.bbc.co.uk)

As we have less non-white people basically. And Glaswegian's are too obsessed with sectarianism to bother about racism. Not one mention of our genuinely welcoming hospitality, and collective consciousness to show Scotland in a good light of course

I don't normally post crap like this, and try not to engage with bbc bias style posts. But...

There is a message in here that we don't see many non-white faces, and that is worth highlighting as a reason for not having our source of troubles. We need to continue to be vigilant against culture war crap like this and focus on bigger issues like deprivation, housing, and inequality

I don't think that seeing less people of colour on daily basis is the main factor here. As you mentioned, the inequality and years of conditioning is what triggered this sheepish response to protest against immigration. Let's not forget it all started with a lie that the man behind the awful crime was an extremist Muslim terrorist.

Embarrassing.
