Sadly there are people with bad views in every Society and ethnic group. You should not feel ashamed of your colour or your country, because of one bitter and twisted individual. The English seem to feel they hold the rights to self chastisement and critisism. I was on holiday once and some one said 'Sorry I am English' sad is'nt it. You would not hear someone from any other country or culture apologise for the acts of another or for who they are. As for doing nothing, in these times of increased knife crime, who was to say you would not have got more than you bargained for if you had interveened. No country has done more to try and adapt to multiculturalism than this one. Lets embrace diversity as well as hoodies!!
