This was posted 5 years ago..and states the tensions in Manningham then, just think about it now..

Sharon Gallagher is white but she knows what it is like to be part of an ethnic minority. For the past 18 months she has lived with her three children in the predominantly Asian district of Manningham in Bradford. This was once a white area, but over the past 30 years most of the whites have left; today Manningham is home to Pakistanis and Bengalis, halal butchers, Islamic book stores and mosques. And it is home to the Gallaghers. They are the only white family on their street and one of the last left in Manningham.

Sharon is 34, but single parenthood, homelessness and bad relationships have left their scars. When she speaks, I can't help noticing she has only two lower teeth. "You can walk all day round my street," she says, sucking on a cigarette, "and you can walk all the way to the shops and back and you won't see any whites."

This was not a racist attack - just a bog standard mugging
Be a different story if it was white people attacking Asians or blacks, as it goes, you can only call a racist crime racist when the victims are either Asian or black.
