Anti-white policies and expressions are a form of racism, targeted specifically against white people. The term is used both for overtly violent aggression and for preferential policies of reverse discrimination that promote the interests of non-white people over white people. United Kingdom In 2004 in the United Kingdom, the organizers of the EMMA awards accused the British press of "anti-white bias" in their coverage of the awards, and the Commission for Racial Equality was asked to investigate. In November of 2007, David Rosin, a former vice-president of the Royal College of Surgeons wrote in the magazine Hospital Doctor: “It is time that someone spoke up concerning the reverse discrimination with respect to merit awards.”. United States The Zebra murders were a series of unprovoked crimes that specifically targeted White Americans in San Francisco between 1973 and 1974. The murders were carried out by a group known as the "Death Angels" (a radical splinter group of the Nation of Islam), who intended to kill whites to spread terror and earn favor and status within their sect. The 2002 Beltway sniper attacks were a series of crimes where the attackers planned to kill six whites a day for 30 days, and resulted in 10 deaths and 3 critical injuries. One of the snipers Lee Boyd Malvo testified that John Allen Muhammad was driven by hatred of America because of its "slavery, hypocrisy and foreign policy" and his belief that "the white man is the devil." According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, national anti-white hate groups currently active in the US include the Nation of Islam and the New Black Panther Party. According to FBI statistics from 1995-2002, whites are the second most-targeted group for racially motivated hate crime in New York City.
