Don't get me wrong...
A few days back, a Surrey teen was attacked by three youths while attending a party at the Tynehead community centre. One of the assailants was yeilding an axe, which struck the victim in the back of the neck.
The boy is now a parapalegic.
What ticks me off though, is how the media portrays this.
Had the attackers been brown, they would have stated that the boy was attacked by three "indo-canadian" youths, and then gone into the gang-violence aspect of it all and how the society is disrupted by such juveniles.
Yet clearly, these troublemakers were caucasian and the media just refers to them as "youths."
Why couldn't they say three white-youths?
