Xenophobes jailed

Three young Frenchmen have been sentenced to prison terms for attacking 6 Chinese students in Bordeaux. The students of oenology were apparently attacked in their apartment by three local men who broke in and threatened them with broken bottles. The reason for the action is unclear, except that the victims were Chinese and there was tension between the two countries at the time.
It seems a prime example of blaming innocent individuals for perceived ills just because they were foreign. Sadly that also seems to be the policy of certain political parties throughout the world.
The perpetrators were jailed for between 6 months and two years plus fines up to 5000 euros.
