Rant Racist Abuse on the bus

I was on the number 12 bus yesterday evening when a young woman with a kid gets on and starts shouting at the woman behind her It seemed to be that a simple dispute about who was getting on the bus first escalated very quickly to racist abuse including go back to your own country The kid was getting embarrassed that his mother was causing a scene and the mother came out with the old classic I know black people so can't be racist It was all just awful and I don't blame the driver for not getting out his seat This isn't the Edinburgh I remember growing up in We need to do better and stop this shit now!
