A community leader has condemned an attack by up to 20 Asian youths on two white men in a West Yorkshire town. The brutal assault, in the residential Lund Park area of Keighley, is being treated as a racial incident by police. The attack comes just days after race riots in Oldham - although detectives state the incidents are not linked. One of the men is undergoing surgery for serious head and facial injuries. He is in a stable condition in hospital. A spokesman for Keighley's Sangat Community Centre said: "Nothing of this nature has happened before. It was quite nasty and very wrong. We would deplore any attack of violence on innocent people, no matter what race or culture they come from." But Acting Detective Sergeant Alison Martin from Keighley CID told said it was not a one-off. She said she could not elaborate because investigations are still on-going. Ms Martin said there had been a good response from the public about the attack. Two local men, aged 31 and 32, were walking in Victoria Road, Lund Park, when they were involved in an incident involving between 15 and 20 Asian youths on Wednesday evening.
Gangs of people going around beating people up because of colour. I thought we were civilised. Racism has come around like a boomerang. I don't care (not really the right word) what our ancestors did. I mean what they did was dispicable but sins of the father are not passed to the son. There isn't any excuse for Racist attacks. Not now, not ever. It just makes me sad to think that people judge other on the colour of their skin.

Anyway, thats me done. Just had to get it off my chest.
