The fact i...I'd be careful with this one, Tim.<br /><br />The fact is too many of the IDENTIFIED so-called "grooming gangs" are from ethnic groups. We need to know the FULL NATIONAL EXTENT of grooming gangs before dismissing this important fact. If it is limited to, or dominated by, ethnic groups then it is important to ask why. Ignoring it won't solve the problem.<br /><br />It's equally true most sexual abuse is committed by white men. This is probably true because of sheer demographics. But how much of it is in similar gangs and how much by warped individuals? How much of it is in the so-called "sex industry" of prostitution?<br /><br />None of the above will excuse the usual far right institutional racism in some mainstream media and some police forces.<br /><br />There are many questions to answer in this awful situation. They won't be resolved by burying one's head in the sand. If there is a cultural problem it needs to be identified and solved post haste. The reality has been ignored for far too long.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
