Sam Smith has just learned racism exists in London.
Just experienced my friend getting verbally abused racially in London. I am absolutely SPEECHLESS.

I never ever ever ever thought that would happen here. Absolutely speechless and hurt.

It definitely does. In the 12 months leading up to November 2015, the Met Police recorded 13,204 hate crimes motivated by race.
I feel like I have to shine some sort of light on it. The police were so unhelpful in the situation and its deeply shocked me.
