Don, my point was that Jim claimed it racist to consider child abuse in the context of culture or race, but they were doing just that.

Barnados said ethnicity was a factor, and they had previously stated that there was an "over-representation."

There is nothing in the CeoP quote that I disagree with, and nothing that refutes an over-rep.

It is quite wrong to describe me as being "diametrically opposed" to the stated views of either organisation. I am not.

I do think that Barnados are wrong to call for the media not to report the issue of ethnicity.
That gives ammunition to the far right who are already claiming that there is a conspiracy to keep these things secret.
