As I put it earlier, if people prefer not to discuss it the problem of on-street grooming of underage girls by British Pakistani gangs in the North of England, then this particular organised crime can only continue. If people don't discuss it, this form of organised crime will continue and will not be successfully tackled.

I don't think for one second that anyone here thinks that any crime that comes to light shouldn't be robustly tackled. But we're not tackling crime on this thread - we're tussling with root causes, and we're coming up with wrong answers because we are doing what all good racists do, which is focussing on one particular ethnic group, singling out a tiny minority of that group and trying to extrapolate from their misdeeds towards a conclusion that there is an intrinsic propensity for such behaviour within that whole group. No matter that Keith et al. can't put a statistic on what qualifies as a propensity, etc., no consideration that these young men are in the gangs they are in at least partly because of racism leading to ghettoisation and social deprivation. I'm not trying to make excuses for bad behaviour, but we can only attempt to explain it if we take all relevant factors into account, and we are not doing that in this thread, some of us.
