    I’m not American but you said that executing a sikh guy for killing a British student (who was actually Polish) to stop riots would be a good idea. You specifically mentioned races of the involved and talked about immigration tensions. But yes, I started talking about race out of nowhere…

    Does this really not sound familiar to you?

      I’m not American

      Too much exposure to American media is making you act like one and constantly harp on about the USA

      was abducted and lynched in Mississippi in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman,

      That’s quite a step away from saying “we should execute murderers” to suddenly jumping to Emmett Till

      A whole witch-hunt also happened when James Bulger was murdered. It’s not always race related. Offending white people is not always a crime, and never a capital offence.
