Thread Name: BS: Racism in the UK media
Subject: RE: BS: Racism in the UK media
"I am truly amazed that the apologists are still here."
There is not a single scrap of solid information linking the crime of procuring young women for underage sex with any particular race, culture or religion, yet once again the usual couple of suspects attempt to turn yet another thread into an attack on an ethnic minority.
Even those involved in assisting the victims of these crimes have warned that "It is highly misleading to categorise these sexual abusers as "Asians" or "Muslims". Not only are the men wholly unrepresentative both of British Asians and of British Muslims"...., yet a handful of you persist in attempting to show that these crimes are the result of a particular culture which has implanted a tendency to the procurement of young women for sex.
In the past you have been the first to scream "thread drift" in order to get yourselves out of holes of your own digging, yet here you are using a discussion on racism in the UK media to once again mount an attack on a culural group in Britain which is recognised as being law-abiding, industrious and valuable contributors to British society.
British Pakistani children are lagely recognised as being among the highest achievers in education, but it they who suffer as a result of racist slurs such as these.
The last time a thread on this forum was hi-jacked by individuals peddling the BNP line, the end result was the longest and most disgusting outpourings of race hatred against a single ethnic community. The subject then was prejudice against Muslims and it managed to produce outstanding examples of just that - prejudice against Muslims in the shape of British Pakistanis.
Isn't it time that the administrators took steps to prevent these subjects from being converted into soapboxes for bigots?
