What happened to the Brazilian man at Stockwell Underground Station, it should not have happened ~ although it happened once before.
[ In the early 80's in Knightsbridge where an Englishman was shot by the Police in a car. It was a case of complete mistaken identity. She some 7 or 8 times, the man actually survived too. ]
The reasons for Why it happened, I don't know the answers to. However, your reasoning (and my interpretation from the poor English here) as to the point you are trying to get across (!) has something to do with likening and calling English people (something along the lines of ~) 'cave living savages.'
I'm sorry, but I think your name calling interpretation is wrong. It is not a land where people are kidnapped off of the streets and held for ransom (like in Brazil), or where men who work on pipelines are ambushed and murdered after being held for ransom.
This is not a country where you (yet) have to travel in armed convoys and where the NATIVES blow themselves up with bombs attached to their bodies, or where you cannot build a house of worship because the natives and their laws forbid it. Nor is it a place where you can be persecuted for wanting to practise your beliefs.
There are sections of the English people who feel aggrieved and angry as the sheer numbers of foreign people arriving here who seemingly 'take over' areas and change it for what it was ...especially in ways that if English people with their religious beliefs were to go abroad and do the same, they would be accepted, let alone be tolerated.
Just as many Arabs come to England and expect their religious practices to be accepted ~ whereas English religious practices CANNOT be practiced in many Arab countries ~ these same Arab men then go drinking and spend vast amounts of money on prostitutes in clubs and bars.
I knew of two Saudi children (under 10’s) who were sent off to the Trocadero in central London for the afternoon to play on the electronic games machines, BOTH were given a THOUSAND POUNDS to do so with (and 'just for the afternoon').
It is very easy to poke fingers at mistakes ~ at Others.

Why do I think that the only one who would attempt a foreign language is the original poster.
There are several answers;
the 'Little Englander' mentality.
being told what to believe and fear by the tabloids, and most specially the Daily Mail.
believing , despite all the evidence to the contrary, that you're superior.
there are plenty of others, just take your best shot..

Probably because every country we visit these days it is obvious no-one likes the English.

I understand what you mean.It must seem that the British are mad after what happened to that poor young man but I assure you most people did not think it was right.George Bush is to blame for this fear of everyone else.
