I have a friend who was started on in the street one evening by a half cast man of about 20 years old. This man was just looking for a fight and my friend and my boyfriend told him that they didn't want any trouble. At this point, the man tried to hit my boyfriend (missing miserably and hitting the wall). The man who hit the wall was obviously shouting alot in pain now, and when he removed his had had braided hair. My friend sang 'Craig David' (like Craig David does) and was arrested for racial abuse. If this man had sung a Robbie Williams song for example, would he have been arrested for racial abuse too? According to the police, no! Also apparently we can't call him black or half cast, it has to be mixed race. My friend was locked up in a cell for about 10 hours. The police themselves admited that this wasn't right, and even said that if the man had called my friend Robbie Williams, this would have some how been because he had been aggravated by my boyfriend and friend.
