Asian perpetrators
The majority of those behind the abuse were described as Asian, while the victims were young white girls.
Yet the report found that councillors failed to engage with the town's Pakistani-heritage community during the inquiry period.
Some councillors were said to have hoped the issue would "go away", thinking it was a "one-off problem".
The report said several staff members were afraid they would be labelled racist if they identified the race of the perpetrators, while others said they were instructed by their managers not to do so.
Several councillors interviewed believed highlighting the race element would "give oxygen" to racist ideas and threaten community cohesion
I think you have hold of the wrong end of the stick with this Rotherham business, Mikey.
Nobody is suggesting that child sexual abuse is only perpetrated by men of "Pakistani heritage" (whatever that may mean) - which makes your question somewhat unnecessary. Nobody is suggesting that all other child abuse allegations are investigated as thoroughly as they should be. The biggest scandal in this appalling episode is not that the perpetrators are predominantly Pakistani men and their victims mainly young white girls (though; that in itself is bad enough); it is not that the allegations were largely ignored (or "brushed under the carpet" may be more appropriate). No, what makes this an outrageous scandal is the reason why these allegations were treated as they were.
Time and again throughout Professor Jay's report (and I have read a large chunk of it) she mentioned that she had found strong evidence that the ethnicity of the perpetrators led the authorities to treat the allegations with "kid gloves". An example:
"...there was a widespread perception that messages conveyed by some senior people in the Council and also the Police, were to 'downplay' the ethnic dimensions of CSE. Unsurprisingly, frontline staff appeared to be confused as to what they were supposed to say and do and what would be interpreted as 'racist'. From a political perspective, the approach of avoiding public discussion of the issues was ill judged. "
Professor Jay's report refers to an earlier report prepared by Dr Heal. One reference to that:
"She [Dr Heal] also reported in 2006 that young people in Rotherham believed at that time that the Police dared not act against Asian youths for fear of allegations of racism"
This is the scandal. It has nothing to do with Cliff Richard or Jimmy Savile. It has nothing to do with Catholic priests. This report examined a particular problem in a particular area. It found that the safety of young girls in that area was being sacrificed on the altar of diversity and multiculturalism. Proponents of these ridiculous philosophies see them as providing a Utopian dream of vibrancy and difference. The truth, certainly in many smaller towns in the UK is completely different. The policies followed in pursuit of this dream lead to division and mistrust. The authorities were more concerned in discrediting the victims and preserving "social cohesion" than properly investigating these serious crimes.
The country needs one culture, one set of values, one standard of behaviour and one set of laws to which we all subscribe. Most importantly it also needs authorities which will ensure transgressors of those laws are properly dealt with without fear or favour. In Rotherham they were not and that is the scandal.
