The riots began on Saturday between gangs of Asian and white teenagers. Over the weekend, buildings and cars were petrol bombed. Oldham has a big Asian population who've lived there for many years. It's possible that it all began with an argument between two schoolboys . But now white teenagers are blaming Asian teenagers for the violence.
Asian teenagers say it's the other way around .
Ashid Ali , from the Oldham Bangladeshi Youth Association, said some members of the white community had caused trouble by marching , breaking windows and shouting racist slogans.
