Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
"You discriminate on Racial and religious grounds and state that that is the significant factor in these crimes being committed."
No to both. I do not.

"What you fail to see is that by generalizing about Moslem Pakistani culture, you are generalizing about Moslem Pakistanis"

Is there no such thing as a community culture?
Is it racist to consider aspects of anyone's culture?

"The fact is Keith, that perceptions of culture in the Pakistani "community" are as wide ranging as their opinions on politics and football."
I agree, but there are such things as cultural differences.
People have spent their lives studying them.

"Pakistani culture is not a culture of organized crime."
That is so obviously true it was not worth posting!

"Saying "I don't have a problem with Pakistanis, just their culture" is a totally disingenuous way of blaming the Pakistani community for the activities of organized criminals without having to take responsibility for doing so."
There is no blame on the community.

"But I can see you are determined to make it acceptable to blame all British Pakistanis for the actions of a Pakistanbi crime Gang."

But I do not!

"Another concerning aspect of Ake and Keiths position, is that it somehow suggests that there is a difference between the crimes of the Pakistani Gangsters and the crimes of the White gangsters who were involved."

I say now there is no difference.
