News flash, the vast majority of all crimes do not get reported in the media.

Reporting about single instances is not the problem, basing on those few instances theories about how immigrants are inherently evil is the issue. I have yet to see mainstream media spreading false information.

There is no doubt that most crimes go unreported. But thats not the problem. Its not even that inmigrant comited crimes go unreported. The problem is when such crime ocours, they tend to leave out certain informatio, like nationality and the sort or disasosiating the fact that a muslim was involved or it was religiously motivated. Is not lying, i get that, but it does paint a picture.

While I do get their point off view, that they dont want people to start discriminating and make a panic and all that, if they keep going to such etends is the reason why we see thouse leaked vids that do paint inmigrants in a worse light, the the actual number of instanses gets exagerted cus the the media hides the real numbers to show no issues at all.

This is a case of people making things worse even though they are doing things with the best intentions. could have been avoided by just being honest from the start and true, not all inmigrants are good.

The problem is this "honest" attitude is helping no one. We cannot just stop every immigrant coming into a country and we cannot screen every immigrant reliably. So all we can do is try to be as welcoming as possible and create a social structure where living together is possible.

This negative attitude is only damaging in the end and increases the hate and the motivation to attack us.
