Racists, you are fooling no-one when you latch on to any sort of misbehaviour, criminal or not, committed by someone whose skin is not white enough for you, as an excuse to attack specific races/nationalities.

Absolute poverty is different. Some people are much poorer. For them, a whole week's income is less than the amount someone in the UK, on the legal minimum wage, earns in an hour (£5.93).
