    That's an interesting and good point. But where do you draw the line? I think it has gone too far. Black males are 9 x more likely to commit homicide in the USA (stats not available for UK). It's unfortunate for the individual but facts is facts, no way round it. Perhaps we should all be a bit less sensitive (not that I am black) and just get on with it.
    Bored.
