"That was being said by people of, or close to that culture."
No public figure has in any way made such a sweeping statement publicly making such a horrific statement claiming that "all male Pakistani Muslims have a culturally implanted tendency" which makes them prone to committing crimes of rape on underage women - had they done so they would have been exposed publicly, they would have run the risk of being charged with reciting race hatred and, had they been politicians, they would have been discharged from office - it is a blatantly racist statement to have made such a claim.
You have failed totally to produce one single quoted example and you have lied here when you said "I said at the time it was not my opinion, and have repeated that statement on every one of the hundreds (thousands?) of occasions you have brought it up since.
"It was not my opinion" - it clearly is your opinion - "Don I do now " believe that all male Pakistani Muslims have a culturally implanted tendency" - your opinion, nobody else's.
In the end of course, it is immaterial who said it - it is a deeply racist and inflammatory statement and whoever subscribes to it is a racist - you said you subscribe to it.
It is this and similar attitudes that have informed yours and your friend's arguments on this thread - as Richard points out - you can't unsay them and claim they were out of context - they will always be your particular 'elephants in the room'.
Of course, you could prove me partially wrong by producing a quote - but you won't because there isn't one.
