Last night's incident involved five friends walking home who were approached by a group of nine others, believed to be of Asian descent, [Detective Sergeant] McCoy said...
"I think myself that for the first time, Asians have been outnumbering the others – that it was retaliation for someone being beaten up – not reported to the police, of course."
Does he wonder why an incident isn't reported to the police? Isn't it a futile exercise? Tit-for-tat behaviour might simply be more effective.
In the UK, 'Asian' is newspeak for middle eastern/arabic.

As a journalist, I always replaced that with "Pakeha." I often got away with it :-)
No they friggin' don't, anymore!
