I agree with Simon Howard about the police ignoring drug dealers in the subway linking Brighton beach to the Odeon cinema (Letters, December 12).
The police ignore situations such as these that are clear and in everyone's face yet they stop and search decent people, such as me, walking on the main road.
Is it because I was acting suspiciously or because I am black?
Not only I am constantly reminded of my skin colour by the reaction of people on the streets but also now I have to be careful of how I walk in public.
It may come as a shock to some people - and the police themselves - but there are people from ethnic minorities living and working in Sussex who don't deal drugs or have anything to do with them.
