Subject: RE: BS: Muslim prejudice
My point is simply that certain very specific numbers have been published which show a remarkable over-representation in certain places of members of a certain community in a particular malfeasance

Last August, in my back garden (=the inner city), three members of my extended family (=vulnerable young white girls) were stung (=groomed then raped) by wasps (=young Pakistani males). When I told all my mates about this, complaining that wasps in general had it in for my extended family (=racist attitude), they told me not to be so silly, because didn't I know there was a wasps' nest (=Pakistani community) ten feet away from my picnic table, so of course I was going to be prejudiced against wasps! They pointed out to me that wasps in general, away from wasps' nests, are generally quite benign beasts, disinclined to sting at all. I mustn't tar all wasps with the same brush on the strength of just a couple of incidents in my back garden. Not only that, bees (=not Pakistanis) also sting, and midges and mosquitos (=also not Pakistanis) with their bites (=a sex crime but of a different sort) are just as bad, if not worse, and certainly they strike far more frequently, and not just at my extended family (=not just vulnerable young white girls). They castigated me for my unfair focus on wasps whilst ignoring all that other stuff that insects visit on humanity. One of them even called me Keith.
