The very people promoting harmony, don't actually want harmony though. Race will always be an issue, simply because they place it so high on the agenda.
Remember the assistant chief constable of the Met who was hauled over the coals for stating that over 70% of muggings in the Met area were perpetrated by "Young Black Men." (a figure backed up by physical data) ? He was instantly accused of racism for even daring to mention it. Had he not mentioned the unmentionable, he'd probably have been accused of a cover up at some point in the future.

It's a no win situation.
