What should I do if someone in the street makes an aggressive comment about my race?
I think the important thing here, while it's thoroughly reprehensible conduct by some body to do that, is to remain calm and try to not escalate the situation. The important thing really though is to report any racist offenses or behavior to police. We take such offenses particularly seriously and we'll do what we can to prosecute and bring justice to people who commit such offenses. Obviously, we can only do that with the support of the public so we need you to inform us of that. The other thing is that if you don't tell us, we won't necessarily be aware of the full extent of a particularly emerging problem in an area and we base how we deploy our resources around information that we get, to some extent, from the public. So, if we don't know there are racist offenses being committed in an area, then obviously we won't be posting our resources to that area to deal with that problem if we're not aware of it. I think the key is to remain calm and report it to the police as so as you can so we can do all we can do to prosecute the people who commit such awful offenses.
