How can we better support post Brexit victims of racism?

It isn't just low income areas either. One of DD's colleagues has been working over here for several years. She is a very highly qualified frenchwoman. Because she is flying home for a wedding and is pregnant she went to her GP (In more than affluent Surrey) for a certificate to say she was fit to fly. After a torrent of abuse about how much we hate the French (She thought he was joking at first) he then told her he wasn't a fortune teller and had no idea if she could fly! Fortunately she has the backing of her husband and colleagues and complaints have been fired off in all directions.

I don't know the answer Cassandra . It has never been possible to control peoples thoughts, if a person is racist there is little or nothing can be done . What is happening to your friends has happened to different races of people. The Jews, The Irish, people who are black, recently Muslims and now the people from Europe . The referendum gave permission to be openly racist and so some doing this. Race attacks have soared since the referendum .

Your friends need to be supported by a group of decent British people, let their children see not everyone is the same. Let them know they are needed and very much liked , tsking away their fear and hurt will be difficult . I don't see what else can be done . Not helpful sorry. I hope your friends will realise there are many who care they are enduring this persecution and want it to stop. It may calm down when these ignorant racists calm down , I do hope so.
