""An ethnic group is found to be over represented in a particular crime, and suggestions offered as to why.
Storming out in anger.
Yes.""

This red herring is past its sell by date. Over the whole of the UK, Asians and Muslims are a small minority of the population, but they are not evenly spread throughout the UK.

There are localised areas in which they are in fact a majority, and if, within the confines of those areas there is a criminal gang operating, that gang is likely to consist mainly of Asians and/or Muslims.

Anger?.......NO! LOGIC!


""But in 17 court cases since 1997 where groups of men were prosecuted for grooming 11 to 16 year old girls on the street, 53 of the 56 people found guilty were Asian, 50 of them Muslim, while just three were white.""

Don't be taken in by the glib rhetoric DeG.

Thirteen years........17 cases.........53 Muslims.........3 Non-Muslim Asians of unspecified ethnicity,.......and 3 whites who may or may not have been Muslims themselves.

Did anybody ask them?.......No matter.

Take it at face value, and apply a little logic, as requested by Keith.

Breaking the figures down we have:

Average, one case every 9.18 months for 156 months.

Average, 3.29 defendants per case, of which 2.93 Muslims, 0.18 Non Muslim Asians, and 0.18 whites.

So, an average of three Muslims, one fifth of a non-Muslim Asian, and one fifth of a white whatever, are caught committing this crime once every nine months.

We have no idea how many other whites commit the same crime, because the commentators, including our own minority bashers haven't bothered to make the comparison with non Pakistani, and non-Muslim gangs.

Can anybody here suggest that, in the absence of that comparison, the above figures have even the most ephemeral statistical significance?

If so, I'd like a joint of whatever you're smoking.

LOGIC Keith!
