is it now the default for non Caucasians to claim racism every time something is not 100% to their liking?

If society rewards you for your status as a victim class member, why would you ever stop using it as a tool?
If they are not happy with the way that they are treated in this country, well they know what they can do.
Maybe her claims are to cover for her poor parental judgement such as not knowing where her 12 year old is.
Whilst I'm deeply sorry that this lady has lost her daughter , these claims are now becoming ridiculous to the point 'real' racism is in danger of being overlooked
Seems this one is looking for someone to blame and plod have copped it.

Totally ridiculous, Plod dont go out straight away looking since the vast majority turn up fine. Also they are not social workers so why show sympathy, they have to detach themselves from these things or they would go off their head.

But then, we pamper to this dont we, probably some compo in it somewhere.

Terrible shame for the poor girl though.

Boy who cried wolf. Claims of racism are now starting to be greeted with a collective yawn instead of being taken seriously. That's not a good thing.
It's hard to say whether racism played a part without all of the facts of the case. The police are certainly a very racist organisation so there is a strong possibility I would say.
I'd suggest that this lady is grieving and looking for someone to blame for the loss of her children, so I think we should cut her a little slack for now.

...but, the R card is used so much now that it"s losing it's impact. If it keeps on this way, when a legitimate occurrence of racism arises, no one will believe it.
Sorry, I repeated what others have said. I need to read all the posts in future!

Zebo - the child was 12, old enough to play out!

I very much doubt it has anything to do with race, some people show compassion better than others.
//Claims of racism are now starting to be greeted with a collective yawn instead of being taken seriously//

Someone (Douglas Murray I think) made the observation that the demand for racists (and several other shibboleth groups) has been artificially inflated, while the supply has been gradually falling over the last five decades or so. Therefore you meet the extra demand by dumbing down the entry requirements to the shibboleth groups.

Extreme case: US. Any politician who advocates an immigration policy involving judgment about the suitability or value of an alien applying for residence is now a racist. By simple extension, anybody who votes for such a policy is a racist. Depending on future demand anybody with a lock on their front door is a racist.
Like I said ......
///Imagine trying to swim with all those rags on your head?///

Wow Theland, for someone so precious about his own God, you sure have a lack of respect for other beliefs, not to mention a complete disregard fir the life of a child when she's not a Catholic.

Not so much "Love the neighbour" than "F*** you neighbour" with you eh?
// i wonder if she suffered fgm in preparation for marriage back in somalia//

Well, pretty well all Somali women are circumcised, so I guess she would have been back to Mogadishu at some time before puberty, or got it done locally.

It's obligatory, of course, under their school of Sharia (Shafi'i), unlike the other schools where it is merely "recommended", sometimes as a "courtesy to her husband".

AB's feminists and humanitarians (I know that there are lots of each on AB and that sometimes the two groups intersect) might care to think about that final quaint phrase: what kind of man would want his wife to undergo a physical operation which reduced her sexual pleasure?
My neighbours are the ones I am with, not the total content of Africa and all the Muslim countries.
is it default to blaart without seeing the programme ?
yes on AB it certainly is ....

The programme is worth a watch
The family is not assimilated and the father speaks English. The mum doesnt - and I think is ethiopean.

I guarantee there is no ethiopean (Amharic) speaker in GMP - apparently there is no one who speaks Arabic in Liverpool. Seems incredible -

and so they complained thro their lawyer ( Urdu I think and Fluent) that they hadnt been treated according to their expectations

But what were those expectations? it cdnt have been - "Ethiopean police were better" ( they arent).
so it must have been - "we werent treated with the same respect that we think bereaved families get in Manchester if they are white"

The police had said - she drowndedd
and the family didnt like it

In fact at the time it looked as tho she was playing with other kids by the water side draped up to the eye brows in her own ethnic garb, fell in and the other kids ran away ....
