On Friday night, a mob partly whipped up by far extremeists rioted against the presence

of asylum seekers in Nozli in Murzicide. Now the pretext for this riot was to claim that asylum

seekers, specifically, are sexual predators who pose a threat to women and girls.

Now at the same time, in recent months, there has been a dramatic escalation of an already

portraying black men is sexually threatening towards white women. Now this provoked amongst

self-described gender critical activists online, outrage and the billionth organised attempt
