Where in the report do they mention the race of anyone involved? Has the race of the Audi and Bentley drivers even been confirmed yet?

No it's selective media reporting.

There are crashes every single day everywhere.

Veiled racism by the Beeb
How is the BBC reporting an accident veiled racism? It doesn't mention anything about the driver.

It's not on there now, it is on the news app front page. So if the crash was in Cornwall, or Wales, then it would be fine to have it on there? Your view is if it happens in Birmingham, then you shouldn't be reported because it might be racist?

Please confirm that you don’t really think the BBC does racism? Couldn’t be further from reality if you tried!

Keep up please rallycross, it's "veiled racism".
That's the sort of racism where there isn't any actual racism but you can just accuse them of it anyway to create suspicion.

Is "veiled" a subtle dig at Muslims?

So why Birmingham again? Why not another town or city?

We don't know those involved yet but they will. When those injured are named let's see.

The BBC reported on several car crashes this week.

Here's one in Ipswich
- BBC News - Pedestrian dies after being hit by car in Ipswich
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-4768...

Or East Yorkshire.
BBC News - Attempted murder arrest after Shiptonthorpe car crash

What we have here is irresponsible males driving high powered expensive motors very badly. My theory is :-

Statistically (south) Asians are statistically much worse when it comes to uninsured driving. I reckon if you looked at fronting and other motoring illegalities it would be a similar pattern.

Inherited wealth is probably higher amongst that community. And it’s lavished on the blokes. It’s obviously not purely down to demographics as we don’t get pile ups around other clusters of ethnicity.
