I’m not saying there is no racism or bigotry in Scotland. Unfortunately it’s everywhere. Just on a lot smaller scale in Scotland.

I don’t think that seeing less people of colour on daily basis is the main factor here. As you mentioned, the inequality and years of conditioning is what triggered this sheepish response to protest against immigration. Let’s not forget it all started with a lie that the man behind the awful crime was an extremist Muslim terrorist.

Embarrassing.

I believe (and I’m not Scottish) that Scotland IS exceptional. I have not lived in every country in the world, Europe on even UK but the people are just genuinely nice and welcoming. Racism and bigotry has no footing here. Obviously there are exceptions to that rule, but the general public in places like Glasgow clearly showed what they think of this kind of behaviour. Respect.

It’s been for many years that gen-pop of England have been conditioned by the BBC and politics to quickly jump the gun the go to racism for answers.

The main problem is that they (they I mean people that went to protest against immigrants) believe that they fighting the right cause, even though what triggered their response, was a big fucking lie.

This. Its not just one sentence. The whole article is off but this particular claim is just outright stupid.

Classic BBC opinion manipulating bs. Some “expert” in the articles even says that the lack of “far right racist extremism” is because the weather is shite in Scotland
