Here's the most specific account in the article:
"I've been bullied ever since I started school. The bullies call me nasty names; it makes me feel so ashamed. My friends won't hang out with me anymore because people started asking why they were friends with someone who had dirty skin," one 10-year-old girl said in a statement provided by the NSPCC.
"I was born in the UK but bullies tell me to go back to my own country. I don't understand because I'm from the UK. I've tried to make my face whiter before using make up so that I can fit in. I just want to enjoy going to school."
Is this the sort of thing the police are occupying themselves with? Or is it the worst of the examples of "hate crime" in Britain?

Where as white teens are trying to look darker with fake tans and sunbeds.
Racism is a horrible thing and I wish it was a thing of the past.
My (white) daughter has faces difficulties with children teasing or ostracising her everyday. However, it is due to autism because she does not conform to norms.
If only there was a solution but I feel that things are just going to get worse. On the one hand society is advocating less discrimination on LGBT but on the other many nations allow bad feelings about immigrants. There is a hostility brewing against those who are disabled and can't work. So much malice on comment sections on social media. It seems that society is not becoming accepting of others at all and that it is a myth that people in society seem to believe. I see hostility and closemindedness everywhere.
It is saddening.

Yes.
In fact, back in January a police department in the UK wound up facing international scrutiny over an incident in which they confronted a private citizen so that they could "check [his] thinking" because he posted a naughty limerick online:
Man complains of 'Orwellian police'
The limerick was deemed as "transphobic", which is why he got the visit.
This stands in stark contrast to Rotherham, where police ignored the fact that the town was over-run with literal rape gangs because rape gangs were comprised of men from the Middle East; the cops feared that if they were to act, they would be branded as "racist".

Suffice to say that political correctness has so thoroughly devastated British culture that it's sliding backwards into third-world status while the powers-that-be sit idly by.
And the "good and proper" crowd wonder why people like Tommy Robinson and Carl Benjamin have such massive followings...

Cold hands may equate to warm heart, but a warm mind doesn't equate to a cold heart.
