I don't think anyone's contesting that fact. What we're talking about at the moment is, do ethnic minority groups commit a disproportionately high proportion of crimes in the UK? (including asylum seekers in that).

As I said, there are doubtless mitigating circumstances, but I don't think there is any doubt that the crime rate is higher among ethnic minorities. Do you disagree?
