Racism maybe, but a prime example of the depths of depravity some have aspired to.
But then we often see some put up certain proof of white on black crime, but never the other way around, this is a type of racism in itself.
So allow me to balance the equation a little and there are also many other examples one could draw on.

Gromit...I have watched the first few seconds of your clip but couldn't watch anymore, as I found it to be too offensive. This chaps problem doesn't stop at racism...he is loud-mouthed, vulgar, ignorant and possibly drunk. I'm sure that he would be just as offensive to anybody, no matter what colour or race.
But I am not sure if racism is on the decrease here in Britain. I live in a relatively easy-going town, where there are plenty of non-white and non-British people living...we are a University town after all....3 colleges actually.
In the last 24 hours, I have had my hair cut by a Kurd, in a Turkish-owned Barbers, bought some delicious Baklava from a Greek Patisserie, and my dinner came from a village Chinese takeaway, who children are tri-lingual, speaking Mandarin, English and Welsh...all fluently ! This morning I have the car valeted by by 2 hard-working Greek brothers, who couldn't have done a better job if they tried.
But people still use lazy phraseology, like saying that they are going down the "P" word for a pint of milk, instead of the Corner Shop. Rather silly actually, as the family that run it are Hindus, although when I pointed that out to a regular in our Village Cafe, he thought about for about 3 seconds and then announced " What difference does it ? ...they are still black "
You rarely hear the C word, N word, etc, these days, except perhaps at EDL meetings, although the casual words that some people still use may give offence unwittingly. We have come a long way from the post-war days when my Northern Irish father came over to London to find work and was greeted by signs outside boarding houses that said " No Blacks, No Dogs and No Irish"

Nice to see you supporting your own Welsh small businesses.

How many more times are you going to wheel out this ancient worn out statement?
You are beginning to sound like a cracked 78rpm record.

I only watched the first minute or so, but it always pleases me to see the silent majority stand up to bigots.
Reminds me of that fantastic YouTube clip of the social experiment made by film students in Canada shortly after the terrorist attack. A bloke standing at a bus stop sees a Muslim and starts telling people in a queue "Hey, be careful - this guy looks like a terrorist...he might have a bomb".
The clip shows how decent non-bigots react, and they all tell him that he's stupid and that they don't share his belief that you should tar everyone with the same brush because of their religion or race.
Brilliant.
That's what I like to see - like I say...the silent majority.

Oh, and I forgot to mention - the chap in Gromit's video is a lowlife scumbag knuckledragger.
And I hope that whoever committed the brutal attack on the young man in AOG's video is caught, charged and imprisoned.
I hope that AOG finds it within him to condemn the racist in the original link, in between searching the Internet for black-on-white attacks, otherwise so,e may draw the unwarranted conclusion that he doesn't think this kind of naked racist abuse is a big deal.
