London Council has released a video showing a white man sexually abusing a black woman on public transport. It’s the same pattern we’ve seen before—crimes that, statistically, white British men are far less likely to commit are being deliberately misrepresented. Netflix’s Adolescence did the same when it turned a real-life case of a black boy stabbing a girl to death into a white boy doing the stabbing. It’s happening over and over again. This isn’t about attacking ethnic minorities. It’s about accuracy. Either these adverts and films are made to warn and educate, in which case they should reflect reality, or they’re being made just to demonise a particular group. There’s no point pretending these are crime prevention campaigns if they’re pushing an entirely false picture. In London, 56% of arrests involve ethnic minorities, despite them making up 46% of the population. Per capita, ethnic minority men are 1.5 times more likely to be arrested than white men. Knife crime, gang crime, sexual assaults—official figures show white British men are far less likely to be responsible. Yet, in media and advertising, they’re almost always cast as the villains. This is about fairness. People should not be unfairly targeted in crime prevention campaigns—whoever they are. If a warning is meant to protect the public, it should be based on who is actually committing the crime, not on a narrative designed to shift blame.
