LONDON
After nearly four decades in Britain, Ali Haydor says there are now days when he wishes he could hide his brown skin. Violent protests erupted in his home city of Southampton after a British-born Sikh, who falsely accused his white victim of a racist attack, was jailed for murder. A video of police handcuffing his dying victim, released alongside the man’s sentencing on June 1, sparked outrage and cross-party calls to scrap police guidance on differing treatment by ethnicity. A week later, gangs of masked men went door to door seeking out migrants after a white man in Belfast was stabbed multiple times and lost an eye in an attack by a Sudanese immigrant.
