There are other examples of groups that are white that have committed these crimes. Acting as a group isn't a Asian thing.

The fact the gang in Rochdale were Asian, is a story, the age of the girls they were grooming, the colour of the girls they were grooming, the friction it caused between the communities and the reaction it caused.
like it or not it made good story.

I know it made a good story. The age of the girls isn't what makes it different, it was the races involved. However the exploitation and abuse of vulnerable white girls is clearly not limited to Asians, I conceded there may be a disproportionate amount of people in these areas accused of such crimes but I think that's not really about race and is a complex set of issues.

I don't think it makes it any less disturbing at all. Understanding 'why' doesn't deflect blame from anyone but makes it a less superficial conversation that focusing on race unless the reasons race is an issue are explored.
