Racism in Northern Ireland

from The Report · host BBC Radio 4

Since April, police have recorded 218 racially motivated crimes in Belfast - at least one a day. Family homes have been attacked, a Ku Klux Klan flag has flown and apparently xenophobic slogans were seen on bonfires during the Eleventh Night celebrations in July. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has even launched a special operation to tackle the problem. But who is behind the apparent rise in racist incidents? Helen Grady heads to Belfast to investigate. Why are racist incidents becoming more frequent? And why are they recorded more often in loyalist neighbourhoods?
