Cultural differences should not affect the law, because it opens an entire culture to indefinable assessments.
By the same token, a 'gel from a high-class family' who was being brought up to be a debutante could advance exactly the same argument - which makes it spurious.

I can see the judge's thinking
Well I can't. I find it a disgusting comment. //
I did say I can see his thinking - I did not say I agreed with it.
I think it is the thinking of a man who knows what he knows of Asian culture from what he reads in books and newspapers - it is utterly repugnant that he should bring such skewed anthropological garbage into a court of law and use it to frame sentencing guidelines.

Talbot - //andy, if you can see the judge's thinking, then you gave time to the notion that non Asian children do not desrve the same justice as Asian children. //
That is absolutely not true!
I am capable of looking at a viewpoint that I don't agree with, and understanding it, but that does not mean that I agree with the reasoning behind it.
If everyone only commented on situations they agreed with, the concept of debate would collapse instantly - and this website along with it!
I have a viewpoint on the Holocaust - do you feel that having a viewpoint suggests that I agree with the thinking behind it?
I am sure you have a viewpoint on the murder of random strangers - by your logic, does that mean you provide some level of sanction for it?
I hope this points out the ludicrousness of your statement, and points you towards an apology - which would be appropriate.
