Lox, 20% Asian men. Asians are about 6% of pop, so that suggests over 300% over-rep. BPs are concealed in the description "Asian" All the cases that came to light were overwhelmingly BPs. They are only 2% so the over-rep is potentially 1000%. Then, 40% of perps did not have ethnicity recorded. If as seems likely, that was omitted for the same reason investigation was omitted,(to avoid racial tension) then the over-rep is many times higher even than that.
Now this was a nation wide survey so maybe it does happen in all BP communities, and they were just more successful is suppressing reporting elsewhere. Or maybe it is a north/south thing. English communities are culturally distinct, which may be a factor. Perhaps the BP communities are too. There could be any number of factors that you and I are unaware of.
As I keep telling you, I have no opinion about the cause of the over-rep, which for 5 months you have stated was a racist lie. You have made a complete arse of yourself. But don't hide away like Jim. Keep it up Lox!
