    And I assume you'd have this same skepticism if a black victim of a white gang thought they heard some "racist abuse".

    I'm kind of a big fan of having facts.

    It's happened for tens of thousands of years, and still remains for the most part today. A few tweaks to national policy and it would remain for the foreseeable future.

    Well, it's 2017, and there wasn't a Scotland 10, 000 years ago or 20, 000 years go.
    Tens of thousands or years eh?

    Right, I agree, but there is a definitive and oft proven disparity between groups of races and their predisposition for violence that is absolutely undeniable.

    I'm not saying whites are "not violent" or that blacks are "the only ones that are violent."

    I am saying that, as a culture, there is a large disparity between raising children that engenders a far more violent, myopic world view - and yes, I believe some of it has to do with poverty, but not all. Yes, some of the US criminal justice system is skewed against non-whites, but some of those numbers are unreliable given that they often compare data universally, meaning repeat offenders may be counted twice, or, that their propensity to keep committing crime is not considered when sentencing is counted.

    There are plenty of studies that show a disproportionate amount of crime in America is directly related to the much smaller minority group of blacks that live here.

    That isn't racist. It isn't the patriarchy. It is undeniable fact.

    These are kids; and poorly educated working class kids from a grubby Scottish project at that. You can suspect as much as you like. I prefer to wait for those pesky facts to emerge first.

    In 2017, Scotsman wear kilts and turbans too. Deal with it.
    Scotland also plays home to those not from Scotland or Europe, a fact that you want to change, but a fact nonetheless.

    Has it not already been mentioned that Scotland has a fairly high crime rate, and Glasgow has some of the worst crime in the UK as a whole?

    Why is it nobody who was a witness to the attack on Boyle said anything about racist comments from the gang towards Boyle? The only person who said anything about racist comments from the gang was a neighbor of Boyle's who said they were directed at her (the neighbor), and having nothing to do with Boyle. You don't even know the ethnicity of this person. What if she's black?

    I get that kids can be jerks, but Aspergers or autism isn't a racist remark. Are you saying the story is wrong and they were really mocking her for autism instead of race?

    The land wasn't there tens of thousands of years ago? The people's ancestors? Again, what does the year have to do with anything?

    These kids may very well be black or brown or something else. Maybe they're Asian. Who knows? But given the fact I have no idea of the ethnicity of the person who said they made racist remarks to her one time, who is the only person who talked about racist remarks from them (the witnesses to the actual attack on Boyle didn't mention any racist remarks), I can't and won't speculate on anything. We simply have zero idea.

    I also don't even know that these kids are poor. White kids go astray too. Even the rich ones.

    Well, what happens when they emerge, and what happens if it is a group of black or Arabian kids? What then?

    Look, human beings adapt and change very slowly. For example, we have not physiologically changed to adapt to the modern food production capacities we now have. We haven't adapted to the abundance of our resources, and this is a physiological process that takes hundreds if not thousands of years.

    The same goes for our tribal roots. Most human beings grew up in small communities, 30 individuals, small tribes of like minded and like colored people. This is the standard for our social constructs. We are not adapted to living in mixed cultures with massive cities and thousands and thousands of unfamiliar faces.

    You can disagree all you like and are free to do so; but at the end of the day, human beings are not equipped to deal with this sort of thing, and modern society pretty much proves that.

    It's 2017, and China boasts being the oldest civilisation with 8, 000 years.
    Tens of thousands of years is silly.

    I think it's the consequence of living in "multicultural" and "diverse" civilizations. Some of the groups living in white Western civilizations have only done so for a few hundred years. Prior to that, they lived in their own civilizations, and had been living there for thousands of generations. Why would we throw people into an environment they aren't familiar with and expect complete compliance? It's naïve. Those groups rebel and resist in relation to how unlike that civilization is to their own.

    Sounds like some assumptions being made on your part. How do you know they are "poorly educated working class kids from a grubby Scottish project"?

    And that policy is having these results. Hopefully the continent wakes up and smells the genocidal treachery that your ideology is promoting against them.

    No, I'm saying that kids make fun of and harass others for anything they can think of, and I definitely don't put it past them to attack someone if they had autism.

    I pretty much said this above; human beings were originally living in small tribal groups throughout the endless span of our existence; modern culture has changed that, and there will be a lot of chaos until sociological patterns in human brains adapt - which could take hundreds and hundreds of years.

    People love to live in a fairy tail. It's such hogwash. Human beings are tribal, and will be for some time.

    Then I guess you and those who are also desperately hoping these are not members of a minority would be correct. However, I highly suspect the article would mention racist comments being made against black neighbors. It doesn't.
