Description:
The incidents identified are the racist hate crimes, which are on the increase after the Brexit vote.
The media source is https://www.theneweuropean.co.uk/ and the news was published on 26 July 2018. Presently, police are seeing increase in hate crimes after the Brexit vote
Offences have also increased post the EU referendum.
Race was observed to be a factor of motivation in the year of Brexit vote.
Analysis
This looks to be a part of a pattern as 62,685 incidents were found to be recorded in 2016-27,where a person was attacked as a result of race due top referendum in 2016/
The attacks recorded 27% increase compared to the prior year.
There is shift in the trend of attacks where the cause of attacks shifted from disability to that of race indicating cultural change.
It appears that the underlying prejudices in people are appearing as threats and abuse to innocent public.
It appeared to many people that Brexit led to legitimization of racism.
Interpretation
The vote for separation of UK from the European Union seems to have brought the deep divisions among different groups of people.
The society in UK seems to be moving from compassion to racism and hatred post the Brexit vote.
The vote on EU referendum seems to have increased the nationalist feelings in Britain leading to more hatred to towards other races.
Evaluation
This cultural change is not desirable as it is affecting harmony in Britain's society.
In other words, these incidents are bad and disrupting peace in the British and European society.
The incidents are against the spirit of unity that was brought forth by European Union.
