Lauren (17) says that she has never witnessed so much racial abuse amongst young people as she does here. She says that most of the young people are very prejudiced and have very stereotypically racist opinions. She finds it scary after the open-mindedness of her friends back in UK - she challenges it all the time but has found herself the butt of abuse back. If the young people start off with this attitude, it makes for a sad future

I find it almost impossibe to believe that a 17year old coming from the UK has the thinking that there is more racist abuse heer than in the uk.......... utter tosh !!! where i was in the uk (glasgow) there was a massive number of racist attacks physical and verbal on a almost daily basis so for her to not have seen it in the UK she must have been wearing blinkers ......... or lived in a very affluent area.
