Selective indignation of unionists and media

I WAS appalled but not surprised by the recent racist attacks on the Donegall Road in Belfast in which three houses belonging to members of the Asian community were targeted.

In one case a house belonging to members of the Chinese community was forcibly entered, two pregnant women were attacked and a man had a brick smashed into his face, breaking his nose.

Although the police will not officially confirm it, speculation is very strong that these vicious attacks were carried out by so-called loyalists, as the Donegall Road is a staunchly loyalist area.
