Was I wrong to post?

The following passages are from a special report, I only go to the trouble to bring this subject up again, because if you take the time to read this fully you will learn that these crimes are more prevalent than even I knew they were.

To balance the scales to some extent are condemnations from some of the Muslim community also.

/// The experience of all these young girls has an uncomfortable element to it. It is a subject that in politically correct modern Britain is almost taboo — rarely spoken about by the police, the courts or even the ­agencies that counsel the girls afterwards. ///

/// The simple fact is that the ­perpetrators are almost all Asian and from the north of England — and their victims white.///

/// This week, the BBC reported the Derby case repeatedly on radio with barely a mention of the fact all but one of the gang members were Asian, or the fact the vast majority of the victims — 22 of the 27 mentioned in court — were white girls.///

/// In the city’s own newspaper, an eight-page investigation under the lurid headline in red capitals ­‘Monsters in our Midst’ showed ­pictures of all nine gang members and printed their names, but failed to use the word Asian once.///

These are not my words, neither are they made up.

But the Daily Mail thought them important enough to raise a 'Special Report', two days after I had shown my concerns.

"I only go to the trouble to bring this subject up again ..."

I'm sure, for your good self, the trouble is negligible?

No, you weren't wrong to post.

Why should they refer to them as Asians, AOG ? it doesn't matter where they come from, the whole thing is reprehensible. However, what about bibblebub's posting yesterday about heinous behaviour of indigenous white paedophiles? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/...and-cornwall-11839816 - it's the crime which is foul, not the colour, creed or background of the perpetrators. I do believe it's prevalent, it's only because of mass media (and the ease of travel for the men and their victims and their "customers" these days) that we hear about it at all. I am led to believe that this sort of thing has gone on since Victorian times, it's not new, we just hear more about it.

No. You weren't wrong. But you do run the risk of being thought a racist if you persist in highlighting crimes committed by coloured people and ignoring the many crimes of white people.

""Why should they refer to them as Asians""

Because they are?

I'll grant you that crimes of this nature are not peculiar to any specific race.

""I am led to believe that this sort of thing has gone on since Victorian times, it's not new, we just hear more about it. ""

That doesn't make it better

AOG,

I refer you to this link which was posted yesterday.

Where does it state the colour and ethnicity of these vile people?

<<<""Why should they refer to them as Asians""

Because they are?>>>

Should people also be referred to as Bearded, Spectacle wearing, Red headed etc, or should we recognise that there are some people (of every colour and creed) and try not to typecast......

[Rasman]

@Oneeyedvic, Oh please!
Details, details are reported in your news from wherever you get it. Would you rather prefer the headline ---Non de script people from nowhere in particular may or may not have done something that may or may not have been illegal--- ?

[Rasman]

Also read the second line of my post "I'll grant you that crimes of this nature are not peculiar to any specific race. "

/// Where does it state the colour and ethnicity of these vile people? ///

Of course it doesn't, since this country is predominately a white country, unless otherwise stated it would be taken for granted, that they are white.

If however they were white but came from Poland (for example) then they would be so described.

Would it be also wrong if a Triad organisation was committing crimes in England, for them to be described as Chinese?

Don't try and read more into this, than needs to be.

AOG-I wouldnt post on this site anymore.Seems to me that the majority on here are in favour of murderers,rapiists,paedophiles etc......rather than the victims of these.

[boxtops]

WShee that is not at all the case. I cannot see how you come to that conclusion. Most of us would not condone any of these activities, it's the fact that they are not confined to any one particular racial group - or that anyone tries to suggest so - that I object to. There are other current threads you can look at which show a huge amount of indignation at these crimes.
