'Can I have a white doctor for the operation?': Racist abuse against NHS staff almost triples, ITV News finds We all know it's against the law to discriminate someone based on their race, age, gender, sexual orientation or religion or indeed to subject anyone to a hate crime.
We know that don't we? So why is it that discrimination and hates crimes still occur and why do people still tolerate it?
I ask because ITV News has done some research on racism in the NHS and the results are somewhat worrying.
We found the number of recorded racist attacks against NHS staff increased from 589 in 2013 to 1448 last year - that's an increase of 145%.
