They were not being made "without proof", Jim. The point is, they were based on comparatively small numbers but greatly preponderant %age-wise as to the demographic under consideration, of judicial convictions for this specific offence of grooming-exploitation of under-age girls. As they were based on actual convictions, they can scarcely be claimed to be unproved. And my point throughout has been that to denounce these facts, which are not ∴ unproved, or even in dispute, as instances of racism is liable to be counter-productive and inimical to genuine objections to genuine instances of racism, for the reasons adduced on my "catch-all" thread, with which you have expressed yourself as in agreement. The idiomatic phrase, based on Æsop, for such counter-productive activities is 'crying wolf'; which it seems to me is what Lox, Steve, Don & the rest have been doing right thru this thread.
