Must not Mention Black Crime

We read:

"South Africa's ruling party, the African National Congress, has accused the BBC of being racist. The ANC accused the BBC of helping to feed "the deeply embedded stereotype that Africans are genetically inferior" following a news report by John Simpson on the country's escalating crime problem....

Simpson had focused on problem suburbs and the country's 50 murders every day...

The party likened the corporation's attitude to "the most die-hard racists in the country".

The BBC as racists: How amusing! There are some more comments about the horrendous levels of crime in South Africa here. I doubt that the BBC mentioned even a fraction of the problem.
