Where is the Mainstream Media Coverage of a Brutal “Racist Attack” by a Gang of Black Teenagers Against a White Girl in Bristol?

Where is the mainstream media coverage of the alleged vicious racist attack by a gang of black teenagers against a 12 year-old white girl in Bristol?

Earlier this month, in an incident outside a Zara in central Bristol, footage shows a white victim being hit in the face by a black girl entirely unprovoked. Several others in the group, which had been following her through the shop, then kick and stamp on her as she falls to the ground, while the group shrieks.

“She was seen walking around Cabot [a shopping centre] with, you know, 25 people following her,” her father told the BBC. “For 25 minutes, they were following her. … Nobody wanted to help. Nobody wanted to say, are you safe?” He described how the gang initially approached his daughter at a bus stop and prevented her from getting on a bus, before following her.

“Three individuals in their early teens have been arrested on suspicion of various offences, including affray, racially aggravated fear of violence and grievous bodily harm with intent, and the investigation continues,” said Avon and Somerset Police. Two more were subsequently arrested on suspicion of affray.

It was clearly a horrifying ordeal. Speaking a week after the attack, her father said that after needing hospital treatment, she had been so traumatised by the attack she had not attended school since.

Given that we once had a weeks-long media circus after some mostly foreign social media accounts sent monkey emojis to black England players, you might think that this horrible incident, footage of which has circulated widely online, would have made major news.

But we know there’s long been a shameful double-standard when it comes to racism against native Brits. Predictably, the BBC attempted to steer its report away from the racial dynamics involved, describing the perpetrators as a “group of young people” and suggesting in the second paragraph that it was “thought to be linked to a recent ‘school wars’ trend on social media”. It is only in paragraph 14 that readers learn via the police’s statement that the offenders had been charged with hate crimes.

Indeed, the police are typically very reluctant to treat apparently racially aggravated incidents against white victims as hate crimes, so it says a lot about how flagrant the attack seems to have been that they have felt moved to do so in this case. It was a “sickening incident”, said Chief Inspector Keith Smith.

How was it that this white girl was being chased around central Bristol for so long with no one willing to help her? Perhaps we should consider its demographics. At 71.6% white British in 2021 and 81.1% white, Bristol is comparatively less diverse than Birmingham or London. However, this white British share of the population is lower in younger age groups, as well as being likely to have declined since thanks to the Boriswave. In 2021, around 63% of Bristol teenagers were white British. Meanwhile the proportion is far lower in central Bristol, with the overall white British share sitting at just 33.3% in Cabot Circus, where the attack took place. Chased by a gang of black youths, there doesn’t seem to have been a corresponding mass of her co-ethnics around who might have stepped in to protect her.

Certainly the Zara security guards were mostly ethnic minorities, while the crowd which later demonstrated at the Zara over its failures to protect the girl was almost entirely white. One protester explains that the gang followed the girl around the store, and then she was kicked out along with the gang by security, before they shut the doors and watched her getting beaten up. Yet rather galling, the security guards, far from being ashamed at what they or their colleagues allowed to happen, treat protesters wholly indifferently, somewhere between bored and amused. Presumably this isn’t far from how they reacted during the attack itself.

This is a deeply disturbing episode: yet another way in which the post-racial utopia which we had been promised by successive governments is today colliding with the grim reality that racial antagonism is an endemic feature of multi-ethnic societies.

What’s more, the lack of coverage and general obfuscation around even this particularly shocking incident is enough to make one wonder whether other such anti-white attacks are going unreported.

It seems eminently possible that this kind of targeting of white children is happening more widely than we realise – as was the case with the rape gangs and incidents like the racist murder of Glasgow teenager Kriss Donald by a Pakistani gang in 2004, which went shamefully underreported in the mainstream media.

Such dynamics perhaps in part explain why there is significant school segregation in our increasingly hyper-diverse education system, with ‘white flight’ becoming increasingly evident in many areas. Such trends are set to accelerate. As Charlie Cole notes, in 2024, just 54% of births in England and Wales were white British, while in the 2024-25 academic year, 60.3% of those in state funded schools in England were white British.

Where there are apparent incidents of racist bullying against white children in schools, how do the authorities react? In 2013, nine year-old Birmingham schoolboy Aaron Dugmore was found hanged in his bedroom. His parents said he had been unhappy at school and had been bullied for being white, a claim which prompted a neo-Nazi demonstration at his school. It is easy to see how Aaron might well have been treated poorly as a minority. A 2014 Ofsted inspection into Erdington Hall Primary School, which found that it “required improvement” across all areas, shows that the majority of its pupils were Pakistani, with 14 other ethnicities also present. “Pupils’ behaviour and safety requires improvement,” it noted, adding that: “Staff who are supervising pupils’ play at lunchtime do not always take pupils’ concerns seriously.” English was a second language for an “above average” proportion of pupils. In 2025, its proportion of white British pupils was 7.2%.

But at an inquest into his death, West Midlands Police took pains to downplay this as a possibility: “While there had been some incidents involving ‘different individuals’, officers had found no evidence of systematic bullying,” as the Guardian reported it. Extraordinarily, while admitting that Aaron had indeed suffered incidents of racist bullying, the inquest managed nevertheless to reach the politically correct conclusion of suggesting there was no such concern.

It is very difficult to say how widespread interracial antagonism now is in British youth. But what is clear is it’s yet another unhappy consequence of ‘multiculturalism’ which its architects apparently never thought to consider – and which even still, most do their best to ignore.
