You make it sound like the entire black community throw acid at people.
The reality is that there are probably at most a few hundred acid
attacks a year in this country (allowing for under-reporting). Most of
the victims appear to be white, so even your proposition that this is a
'black' thing seems to be extremely doubtful. Do you have any basis for
this, or is it pure supposition on your part?

Come on GB, you know we're living in the post-truth world, so we
shouldn't allow facts to get in the way of an opportunity for some
gratuitous racism.


Well for heavens sake, quoting te guardian is pure post truth

From the article.

*Globally, an estimated 80% of victims are women*.

Jaf Shah, the executive director of the support group Acid Survivors
Trust International (ASTI), said: €śLooking at the data in general, there
is a fairly large probability that a *high percentage of the incidents
are male on male attacks* and most likely to be gang related. The
numbers appear to be very high and suggest an increase, which is very
concerning.€ť


So which is it then Guardian? Male on male or women?

You can pick whichever you want to support your bigotry.


Can somebody telll turnip that if he read the article properly rather
than trying to weasel contradictions out of it he'd discover that
globally women get attacked more, and in the UK it's men. So the answer
is "both".
