Yes that's a fair point. I lived in an Asian country for seven years so I can appreciate what it feels like to be in the minority and the casual racism that comes with it. Of course it does grind you down. Clearly we are at boiling point, which is unsurprising. The world is a complete mess.

I just feel that these protests are happening at the worst time (although I appreciate the reasons why) and maybe if the message was more coherent, they may be a little less divisive. Unfortunately these things also attract idiots who detract from any message by throwing bikes at horses. The violence is doing nobody any favours.
