What is odd though is, if you look at the screenshot, are the languages the site can be viewed in. I wholly accept that I could be wrong on this, but I wonder just how many people from Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Spain and presumably China actually live in the province? It can't be very many can it?

You'd be surprised at how many people from enterprising countries have moved to NI. The place is awash with state subsidies and the Norn Irish are even more workshy and benefit-addicted than the Scots. Someone's got to do the work.
There is actually a pretty sizable Chinese community in Belfast.
There are more Chinese speakers than irish speakers in NI.
Can't be many? Mmmm. But the Urdu, Cantonese and South/Central Europe Language peeps are more likely to feel the race hate? And probably the main groups in the province/in the North that don't speak English.
There was a BBC report on the growing problem of racism in NI, look it up!
I think I;fd rather look up how much the website cost and how many people have used it. After all, the UK thought crime website was taken down because it wasn't used.
Chris, as far as I can tell anyone can experience "race hate", well anyone apart from a white middle class male of course,
There has been a large increase in recent years of immigration to Northern Ireland, and as some are moving into areas which historically have seen 100% one community or the other for a generation they are facing racism and attitudes from the 1970's. Some were suggesting that the Poles are part of an IRA plot to fiddle a referendum, (well they are all Catholics aren't they). Whether a web site helps or not is a whole other argument
Where do I dob myself in: I strongly dislike neocons and feel that this may, if not controlled, result in me hating them. It's mostly to do with them enriching shareholders of armaments companies at the expense of taxpayers and the lives of foreigners.
