As already spelled out, anyone who buys the argument that the police ignored it "because racism", with absolutely no evidence for this being brought to light from before it was used as a defence, is a loving moron. The police are racists, and they do what they're told.

The Rotherham report examined not only police investigations, but reported cases of child sexual abuse to several agencies operating in the borough including police, social services, child welfare, local council and an outreach center. They found that in 95% of the suspected cases it was likely that children had been abused or groomed for abuse, and that in the vast majority of those cases the perpetrator was described as "Asian". At least in the case of Rotherham, the evidence is overwhelming that ethnic minorities, specifically Asians (probably Pakistanis), are disproportionately likely to be perpetrators of child sexual abuse in cases that are reported. It does no good to anyone to pretend otherwise.

I'll defer to the summary of the report's Section 11, titled "Issue of ethnicity",

quote:

Issues of ethnicity related to child sexual exploitation have been discussed in other reports, including the Home Affairs Select Committee report, and the report of the Children’s Commissioner. Within the Council, we found no evidence of children’s social care staff being influenced by concerns about the ethnic origins of suspected perpetrators when dealing with individual child protection cases, including CSE. In the broader organisational context, however, there was a widespread perception that messages conveyed by some senior people in the Council and also the Police, were to 'downplay' the ethnic dimensions of CSE. Unsurprisingly, frontline staff appeared to be confused as to what they were supposed to say and do and what would be interpreted as 'racist'. From a political perspective, the approach of avoiding public discussion of the issues was ill judged.

There was too much reliance by agencies on traditional community leaders such as elected members and imams as being the primary conduit of communication with the Pakistani-heritage community. The Inquiry spoke to several Pakistani-heritage women who felt disenfranchised by this and thought it was a barrier to people coming forward to talk about CSE. Others believed there was wholesale denial of the problem in the Pakistani-heritage community in the same way that other forms of abuse were ignored. Representatives of women's groups were frustrated that interpretations of the Borough's problems with CSE were often based on an assumption that similar abuse did not take place in their own community and therefore concentrated mainly on young white girls.

Both women and men from the community voiced strong concern that other than two meetings in 2011, there had been no direct engagement with them about CSE over the past 15 years, and this needed to be addressed urgently, rather than 'tiptoeing' around the issue.

Additionally, I agree with this excerpt from Section 14, "Recommendations",

it's really disingenuous to try to extrapolate from "in the case of the pakistani sex offenders, the majority of the sex offenders were pakistani" all the way up to "pakistanis are sex offenders" like the OP claimed or PC gone mad like the tabloids are screaming

it's also disingenous to state "it does nobody any good to ignore the race of the offender" when the race of the offender is not consequential to the crime nor does it truly explain the local government inaction which allowed this abuse to continue. oddly enough demonstrations of corrupt white british culture were not front and center at any point during the BBC pedophilia scandal

Speaking personally, the reason I bring up race is because the cat is already out of the bag. Whether anyone likes it or not race is already a central issue in this scandal, and the right is having a field day with it while the left and center-left are reeling. Cases like this give them powerful ammunition to stand up there and say, "See? Muslims are criminals, just like we've been telling you", and I want to emphasize the force of those argument and the insufficiency of telling people "Oh don't listen to that guy, he's just an irrational racist". In this case I think that focusing on the deep problems with the police and council response is a good line to take instead, but in the larger picture I feel as though the people that advocate my positions are losing the war of ideas.

you are talking about issues of race in order to apply issues of race in the context that this gang of paedophiles, notably almost entirely pakistani, has finally been investigated by the police, while several other gangs of paedophiles, notably rich and white, are not. The defence of "well we didn't want to apply issues of race" absolutely stinks of authority being caught ignoring paedophile gangs and going "oh right they're muslim, we can take them"

Actually the women victims were white in this case, they were just from poor backgrounds or under the direct care of authorities which didn't do poo poo.

That's not true at all.

To boldly be eaten where no grot has been eaten before!
The thing is that official and complete indifference to vulnerable young girls and women in the UK is rampant.

While things are better than in the 1980s, when many children's homes were run by peadophiles, the Home Office (the government department in charge of law enforcement) gave a funding grant to the Peadophile Information Exchange, the civil servant in charge of child protection was a peadophile and when he visited children's homes would be provided with a child and a lockable room, Jimmy Savile was put in charge of Broad Moor by the Tory government, and everyone up to and including the Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher was aware of this and covered it up. Throw in prominent politicians, judges, members of the establishment, senior figures in the secret police including allegedly the head of MI6 being peadophiles and you have a recipe for embedding a culture of indifference to the activities of child molesters.

However in cases like this 'being brown so we can't investigate because it would be racist' being put about it for some reason more believable than local police and politicians liked to rape kids and consort with criminals, and were bribed with money or sex with children to prevent investigations, even though that is literally the historical model for this.

No one cares about children being looked after by local authorities. That's why they are there.

And no one is willing to fight the political battles to get it properly funded. Many local authorities are looking at privatising caring for these children, because nothing says caring for children better than lowest bidder contracts from companies who have all been accused of abusing people in their care in the past.
