Think I'm being racist? Ask my GF and her 2 daughters who are British-Indian or our son who is mixed-race (although with him being 10 months old he may offer little more than a gurgle or two) what they think about that. Apologists for the Asian community or those desperate to be seen to be sticking up for them will point out that all those being charged with offences connected to Operation Yewtree are white males. A valid observation of course but it falls on its face when you take in to account that their heydays were a period where if you were anything other than white Anglo-Saxon you were extremely unlikely to get anywhere near mainstream TV or broadcasting. The same for Catholic priests - the vast, vast majority in our towns and communities would be white. If you do a google for "sex gang in court" and go back say 5 pages tell me how many cases show up that don't involve Asian or non-British men. Again, this could be down to Google chosing to only select certain types of cases but I'd very much doubt that. Unless you can offer a different and more straightforward alternative scenario there are extremely regular reports of 'street' gangs of men from certain ethnic backgrounds in court on sex charges where they repeatedly target vulnerable girls. Some try to say they only target white girls - that does seem to happen too but I make no comment on that as in the vast majority of these cases the the courts hide the details of the victims (as is the law) but I don't see that as being the overriding issue. There is a clear and massive problem in Asian communities surrounding this and nobody seems willing to deal with it as time and time again we hear of these court cases. No amount of PC-ness can hide the common denominator in each of them. Some try to suggest it's always Pakistani men, others often try to throw in the word 'Muslim', I'm not that destructive. When I see a headline (and no I don't mean the Daily Mail, I'm more a Mirror reader) about a sex gang in court I'm always pretty certain I'll know the kind of names contained in the report. Can you prove me wrong? As I've said several times please please do. I don't mean that in an arrogant or facetious way, I genuinely want to be proven wrong as doing so will reassure me our society doesn't really have the problem I believe is so apparent. To date I'm sorry to say nobody has succeeded in my request yet. |

I do not disagree that the Asian community has an issue that needs to be dealt with. Moreoever, they need to be seen to be dealing with it. The point I am making is that the media have to be very careful in how this is reported. This reason why is this: I have very good friends who are Asian, Sikh specifically. They have put up with years of petty racism from various idiots they meet in their daily lives .. like the **** who shouted racist insults after 9/11 and 7/7 acusing them of being Muslim. Imagine a headline in the Sun or Daily Mail: "Oh look, another Asian sex gang in court." This is exactly what these petty minded bigots want to hear. They wouldn't think too far beyond this sort of headline and would inevitably lead to more racial incidents. In my opinion, this whole subject has to be handled very carefully (in the media) to avoid inflaming racial tensions. This is my point .. ---------- Post added at 13:12 ---------- Previous post was at 13:11 ---------- Quote:

If the Asian communities feel these bad apples give them a bad name then surely they ought to be doing more about the problem from within. It's very straightforward. |

Look, I have made my point. I have also said I agree that the Asian community have a problem and they need to address it. |

The proportion of sex cases involving the nationalities/religions involved? Freedom Of Information maybe? Because the word "asian" is essentially meaningless. |

When you look at the detail, most of the 'Asian' men are actually from families of Pakistani or Bangladeshi origin. Our news outlets doubtless have their reasons for being coy about the specifics. |

There might be ways to get figures but put "sex gang in court" in to google and the first 5 to 10 pages show a very telling story. ---------- Post added at 15:43 ---------- Previous post was at 15:42 ---------- Quote:

But yeh. the women need to be a bit more opinionated and not hold back so much. and the men need to be not so controlling. then maybe they can tell us what they're doing about this problem. |
