The Guardian headline: White people make up largest proportion of British terror arrests

[Yossarian]

People recorded as Asian do not make up largest proportion for first time in 13 years, data shows

White people make up the largest proportion of arrested terrorism suspects for the first time in 13 years, official British figures show.

There were 351 arrests for terrorism-related activity in the year to 30 June, a fall of 22% compared with the 449 arrests in the previous year, Home Office statistics show.

The proportion of suspects recorded as white by the arresting officer increased by four percentage points to 38% in the period, while those deemed to be from an Asian background fell by seven percentage points to 37%. The proportion recorded as black fell by two points to 9%.

It is the first time, since the year ending June 2005, the month before the 7/7 bombings, that more of those arrested were recorded as white rather than Asian.

As if it wasn't bad enough already. Now the police and the average law abiding citizen have even more to worry about.

White people 38%, asians 37%. Says the whole story.

Sir I request you to get with the times... a white person cannot be a terrorist... just mentally unstable.


The scale goes like:

white - mentally unstable, loner
brown - terrorist
black - thug/gangster

If reading numbers is your only strong point.

Arrests doesn't mean convictions. Only 2 in 10 are convicted and I assume this is higher for whites because they are not unnecessarily targeted.

It was the far right in Europe which caused the World War 2 killing the most people in a single conflict in history, a part story.

Who cares? I think at this point most with any semblance of intelligence understand asian/muslims/browns etc etc are not just running around trying to kill people. Sadly, knowing is not the same as acting.

No one ever calls right wing hooligans or neo nazi supporters "terrorists" even when they attack innocent people.

What about yellow? About 2 billion of them and not even one terrorist/thug,mentally unstable person.

Don't know why you are getting defensive by bringing up world wars. The numbers are good, and show multiculturalism has been a success in the UK, where the majority and minority are both neck to neck when it comes to terrorism related arrests.

Wasn’t the Virgina Tech shooter a Korean?

This is what the tabloids in UK focus on.

Did he use religion as an excuse to carry out his attacks?
