No, he didn't.

This is in response to a form reply I received (T2008050400XXS06) when I expressed concern about the anti-'goth' prejudice exhibited on the radio last week.

Amanda Hancox tried to justify the programme's problematic nature by explaining it wasn't anti-goth, but anti-French. I fail to see how that makes it in any way OK.

The email I received seemed in general to be describing a different programme to the one I listened to.

"The reporter interviewed a young man who described himself as a Neo Satanist Goth and his experiences were heard in the feature. The other people interviewed were all recognised experts in this field and one in particular is consulted regularly by the French Police on crimes with religious overtones."
Except this young man - who identified himself as 'goth', was the only representative of that group as a whole. the goth subculture that was being attacked was conspicuously denied a voice.

"The presenter made it very clear in his introduction that the feature was about the Goth Community in France and about ‘some’ Goths who were influenced by Satanism."
No, he didn't.
The distinction between "'some' Goths' and just goths was not even attempted. If the producers genuinely assumed people would automatically understand that 'foreign' goths are different from 'our' goths, then there's clearly some dangerous presumptions being made in the BBC as a whole.

"The programme was very careful not to link the story in anyway either to the Goth Community in Britain, which is a very different culture to that in France, or to the death of Sophie Lancaster."
Not explicitly making the connection is not the same as making the distinction. No such distinction between British goths and French goths were made, and the listeners were led to draw their own conclusions. Similarly, there was no attempt made to distinguish "Neo Nazi Satanist goths" from the rest of the community.

"As all the interviewees were French and the feature was linked to a very specific event in France, we didn’t think it would be necessary to remind listeners throughout the feature that we were not talking about the Goth community in Britain."
Despite the fact that it's been shown time and time again that conflicts abroad are very easily converted into race/religion or similiarly motivated violent attacks in Britain.

Please ask Ms Hancox to try harder in future.
