Ethnicity of grooming gangs cannot be ignored.

yes your 'If the rape gangs had been white, there would have been no cover up.' was

Here have the awkward facts about a well known white group CSE:  Abuse in the UK Catholic church

There's no evidence that any ethnic group is predisposed to child abuse but every evidence that once a gang feels immune from the police the abuse increases dramatically.  And way too many ethnic Pakistani gangs were very much allowed to go unmonitored by way too many in authority because such authority was lazy, thick and self serving.  As a result for over a decade group sexual abuse was about 50% ethnic Pakistani led, a significant disproportion

Throw the offenders into jail and throw away the key and then jail those police and others in authority that couldn't be arsed to do their job.
 
And for goodness sake do not spread the myth that it's not a white problem too, to go down that route would be to perpetuate the unmonitored->uncontrolled abuse line just with different actors.

Rather than relying on personal prejudice and what has become entrenched in public discourse by the Express, Mail, Telegraph, etc, I suggest the following govt paper is worth studying:

There are many problems with comparing any cover up to that which occurred as regards Catholic church abuse. The Catholic Church is an independent organisation that tasks itself with the moral outlook of those who wish to follow them. The police, the social services, the politicians were all those specifically tasked by the public to protect the public and to seek out lawbreakers as regards all citizens. The Catholic Church was protecting its own. All the others were protecting those they were specifically tasked with finding.

No one is saying it is not a white problem however the problems are cover up, racial/ethnic/religious selection of victims (which alone normally merits more detailed investigation and stiffer sentences) and political inactivity and aversion to actually finding out. 

Yes, that at least is something that has never happened before. Both Sunak and Braverman have openly stated that the grooming of white (non-muslim) girls is "overwhelmingly perpetrated by men of Pakistani heritage". And it's probably significant that they're both Asians - no white politician has ever said this, because they'd just be called racists by the PC Left. But it's a pity that they couldn't have gone a bit further and pointed out that the abusers are basically all muslims. Asians of other religions are not involved.

However the BBC had a report on Today that flatly contradicted all this. Mishal Hussain (who is a muslim of course) led a report that said that the Home Office investigation into the grooming gangs found that almost all the abuse of white girls was carried out by white men and that there was NO over-representation of any race or religion in the figures. The BBC even said that it would be better if less attention were paid to the race of the perpetrators and more attention paid to the "dangerous behaviour of the girls" - which I find absolutely astonishing. This is classic "victim blaming" which is exactly what the police did and is why so few cases were prosecuted.

The basic problem here is that the data is so patchy. For a start police basically ignored most of the thousands of offences committed by muslims - and when they did record the offences they usually didn't include the ethnicity of the perpetrators. The only places where you get a true picture of what was going on is the various reports (like the Jay report) where the massive over-representation of muslims is obvious.

So broadcasters like the BBC can get away with blatantly misleading the public. But it's good that we now have Talk TV/Radio and GBN who both presented what was/is going on accurately. I just hope SUnak doesn't bottle it.

Once again it is hiding a problem by integrating it with a larger general problem. Sexual abuse of children is a widespread problem amongst all groups. How that problem manifests itself and how it is tackled is very cogent to the point. There is, has been, and may well in future continue to be a specific issue with one ethno-religious group preying on the vulnerable girls of other ethnic groups whereby it is noted that in recent years this has been commonplace in certain cities and towns whereby just on the look test the ethnicity of the gangs of perpetrators is decidedly different from the victims. This is something that the left would normally be very alert to and quite prepared to continue to press for inquiries and investigations to determine the level of 'institutional racism' and cultural intolerance so that their own view of zero tolerance to such things can be met. The fact the left are moving heaven and earth to stop any such investigations taking place, being talked about or even considered tells the tale of why we have come to such a sorry pass in the first place.

As I said the data that we have is bad because a) the ethnicity of the perpetrators has often not been recorded and b) the police have been reluctant to prosecute offences for reasons of political correctness. So the fact that the perpetrators are of "overwhelmingly Pakistani origin" doesn't necessarily show up in the data. But the special reports (such as the Jay report on Rotherham) have made it very clear that muslims have been overwhelmingly attacking non-muslim white girls. The Home Office are not lying but their report was (probably deliberately) misleading.

It's about time that the Left accepted that there is a cultural problem with muslims attitude to women and children. 

That's obviously evidence then?
