I'm not sure if does, the abuse was racial, even if racism by proxy, the charges should be racial, the compensation should possibly be xenophobia based if that's a thing but the problem isn't that this guy got a pay out, but that there are going to be countless worse cases for black people that don't even get a look in.

then call it xenophobic abuse or any of the myriad other words suitable in this situation. to call it straight up racial abuse devalues the actual racial abuse all too often directed at people these words are used to describe.
hey ho, here's hoping Thor Atkinson's business goes tits up as a result.
is Thor a traditional English name?
