Mental health issues "need to be called out" if they're causing racism.

Not because it's torment on the person suffering. Only because of its effect on other people.

What?

You're overlooking the illness and using your own agenda to portray something else ?

Are we supposed to be very mad about that or is it a service that needs to and should be provided?

Alright Lee Cabs

See this is exactly what happens in this thread.

Post a crime allegedly done by an immigrant
Post an instance of racism

Excuses have been made for this guy without any of us knowing the facts. As it happens even the victim is making excuses for him too. It’s given everyone else a nice handy excuse to deny that we have a racism problem in this country.

My own agenda aside of course.

I think it should still be recorded as racism, just like an immigrant/refugee with mental health issues committing a crime should be recorded as a crime but with the added context of mental health issues. Only with that type data can you make decisions and in the case of mental health see the scale of the problem in relation to racism, crime etc.

I couldn’t agree more.

Great idea.

While thats happening we should start recording the nationalities in crime statistics to support a holistic approach. Easy enough to do both.
