I agree - it shouldn't be frowned upon to indicate WHO is thought to be committing thefts on the grounds of some sort of racism... thought provoking... :confused::(:)

I am certainly not a racist, my Fiancee is foreign, but its true that Romanian gangs are responsible for problems here, in France and Ireland. What next, will it be regarded as rascist to blame the Russian Mafia for controlling a lot of the sleeze trade in Eastern Europe? Will it be regarded racist to blame Jamican 'Yardie' Gangs for controlling the Jamican drug trade?
