If i'm walking home at night I'm as concerned if i see a bunch of white guys in chavvy gear approaching me as i would be to see POCs, makes no difference

But skin colour is just one factor, you’ve identified something you don’t recognise therefore it feels unfamiliar and unwelcome
But like I say I cover that in my original post. I wasn’t bothered by the black or Asian kids on the train, because they are wearing school uniform and behaving themselves
Also that’s just a poorly constructed sentence which comes about from me being too lazy to always proof read what I write before clicking send

I’d be concerned either way as well
I said I’d possibly be less concerned if those thuggish looking lads were white possibly because of media saturation about knife crime (which is largely black on black) , but in any event there’s no reason to believe they are more likely to be hostile to me than the kids who are more smartly dressed.
Hearing unfamiliar language has never bothered me, I’d say clothing is definitely the main reason why I may feel a little unnerved. Balaclavas for example are fashion accessories now for kids and it’s not uncommon to encounter groups wearing them along with usual gang uniform items like massive puffer coats and joggers. Even in the middle of summer you’ll find kids decked out in this gear which is just bizarre.
