/// Richard Reid was not from an ethnic minority. ///
Are you sure about that Gromit?
*** Reid was born in Bromley, Kent, to Lesley Hughes, who was of white English descent, and Colvin Robin Reid, a man of mixed race whose father was a Jamaican immigrant.
*** When Reid was born, his father, a career criminal, was in prison for stealing a car. Reid left school at age 16, becoming a petty crook who was in and out of jail, the first time for mugging an elderly person. He began writing graffiti under the name "Enrol with FRF crew", and ultimately accumulated more than 10 convictions for crimes against persons and property.He served sentences at the Feltham Young Offenders Institution and at the Blundeston Prison. ***
*** His father advised him to convert to Islam, telling him that Muslims were more egalitarian and they got better food in prison. The next time Reid was incarcerated (in 1995 for petty theft), he converted. ***
