The case that started off this thread was one where all the members were non-white (mainly Asian) and all the victims were white. I can't see how anybody can fail to spot the racial element in that. People made the point that the gang just went after vulnerable girls and the fact they were all white was a coincidence. OK I accept their vulnerability but the rest of that statement is just BS in my opinion.

However since then little or nothing has been said about the victims of subsequent sex gang cases. I'm pretty sure if reporting restrictions were lifted (and thankfully for the sake of the privacy of the victims this won't happen) the vast majority will turn out to be white also.

But as we'll never know let's move on from that.

I'd say there is (just) more importance on looking in to why these gangs are always Asian/non-white than why middle-age or elderly celebrity sex attackers always seem to be white. Other than Savile it appears all the cases we know about connected to Yewtree happened decades ago. That doesn't alter the seriousness of the cases however they happened in the past - little or nothing can be done about them now.

However if there is a 'hidden' culture in Asian gangs that involves sex crimes on girls/women, this is something that needs to be dealt with NOW.
