=== Mike: "as a whole"
Statements such as this leaves me, and obviously others, with the impression that Keith is referring to the Muslim culture as a whole, or as near as '****' it.
"There is lots of other dreadful crime for which other groups are responsible, but let us accept that this is a crime that the culture (not the religion) of the Pakistani community is largely responsible for".

Jim ~~ not worried about those 'others': couldn't care less what impression SilliLox might have got into his lamebrain; but I engage with you coz I know you to be more perceptive than such.

Surely he is saying that it is certain aspects of the culture that *might* be responsible for the activities of this, he stresses, only a small but disproportionate minority; which is not to say that 'the whole' of the community is affected by it: i.e. He did NOT say, as you misinterpret, that "races as a whole behave thus because of their culture".

You are confusing the culture, as an entity, with the community, as an entity, and applying "whole" to the wrong one. Surely you see this distinction.
