Racial conflict and stereo types have been the subject of the news for decades now. The recent case of Amed and the clock has now resurfaced, indicating that despite the uproar for racial targeting it was in fact not down to the boys skin colour or religion that he was apprehended but due to his obvious, suspicious behaviour which, turned out to be intentional.
This is a very controversial topic and one that I feel strongly against as even now racism is seen in day to day life with subtle racist jokes and references. I am strongly against racism and do whatever I can to stop it when the opportunity arises. However I do believe that too often people are wrongly blamed for racism particularly within the justice system. I believe that it is not that they are targeting races because of religion and skin colour but it is that they are attempting to make a situation as safe as possible and unfortunately, mistakes are made, granted more often than not the victim is not Caucasian but, in most cases I do not believe there is actual racist intent.
