I'm not asking for a debate I'm asking for clarification and I come to both of you because you're friendly.

FGOTY right there.

In the UK we say Asian to refer to both groups (for want of a better word) and always have done.

If you said - "I'm going for an Asian," I would most likely think you meant an Indian curry house as there are billions of them in Britain (I believe it's the most popular grub here). What you would hear though for distinction is

"I'm going for a Chinese"

"I'm going for an Indian"

"I'm going for a Ruby" (slang for curry)

These pedophile/sex offenders can be middle class or working class, Muslim or Christian.

They need to be castrated.

I don't disagree Master, I don't disagree. That said, in some cases common sense should prevail like if there's a 19 year old going out with a 16 year old which has happened before and if the 19 year old is a boy sometimes the 19 year old is vilified and prosecuted....it has happened before. And that is also why I am so adamant about rape being actual rape and not some of the PC nonsense that people want to shove under the banner of rape. Rape is fucking real, it's awful, and it shouldn't be trivialized in the court of law when some jackass gets their feelings hurt over something that isn't technically rape (and again, this kind of shit has happened as well).

But if there is a culture or a religion or anything that is harboring rapists, trying to excuse rapists (the actual rapists, not the bullshit PC "rapists") then those cultures and religions need to get educated, everyone needs to get on the same page and work together to keep these kind of things from happening again.

Exactly, Lyle. It's a matter of education and movement into the 21st century in terms of how people should be treated and regarded. That's why it was the most uneducated and isolated section of society that did these (revolting and illegal) acts. They should go to jail for that. they groomed and raped thick drug addicted young girls.

Saying that it's a 'cultural' issue is not only pandering to people's sense of victimhood but also fuelling the racist element of society and driving even more wedges into our cities.

The wholly unbelievable failure of our Social Services to discover and act on this was criminal in itself. Many, if not most, of the victims were apparently in the care of Social Services ..... But, funnily enough, nobody has been fired!

The local council decided that they would not talk about this or really do anything about it, because they were afraid of being labelled as racist. Plus, of course, the Pakistani vote is very very important for their unpeeled and pointless careers.

The whole thing was a perfect storm of circumstances, poor judgement and fear of offending the PC brigade.

Brits do seem to think we have fewer race issues than you do in the States (and, having lived in both places, I do tend to agree). Race is also a sensitive and problematic issue in the UK, but it does tend to be less overt and more subtle than in the U.S., which of course makes it even harder to address.
