Original post by Rlove95Calm down. No need to get so hot-headed, if you read my post carefully you'll see that I didn't actually say you were condoning paedophilia but was actually saying that by putting so much focus on one ethnicity that commits paedophilia without actually putting focus on paedophilia as a whole, in all ethnicities, it makes it seem like Pakistani's are the only problem and makes it seem like what makes this truly disgusting is the fact that their Asian, and not the fact that their paedophiles making it seem like its okay for other ethnicities to do it as long as they aren't Asian. We shouldn't target Asians alone, but target all paedophiles, from any race, community, ethnicity, whatever. The narrative is focused too much on their ethnicity and not enough on their crimes.
Exactly Jimmy Saville is one man, one man who was able to sexually abuse hundreds of people over the course of 60 years without ever getting caught. Jimmy Saville isn't an isolated case, there are plenty of other people who have been charged/accused of sexual abuse in high positions and have been left alone for far too long with their crimes, Jimmy Saville died without ever getting caught. There are probably plenty of others who are still sexually abusing people but getting away with it. If you isolate the problem to Asian communities alone, you're effectively ignoring all other communities and institutions that are allowing sexual abuse to carry on. That doesn't mean we should take the heat off these institutions like you're accusing me of saying, it just means we shouldn't blame the ethnicity of these people on their disgusting acts.
I'm not sure what you're suggesting there, that all the other cases of sexual abuse are different because they committed it on people of the same ethnicity/religion as them? So it's now suddenly an issue when you sexually abuse someone of a different race/ethnicity/religion as you? Really? that's what makes these cases different, the race of the victims? Why should the fact that their victims were white have anything to do with it? At the end of their day they're all victims, whether Catholic, Chinese, White, Pakistani, whatever. Another example of people putting TOO much focus on the race, ethnicity or religion of victims/perpetrators instead of the crime itself.
What about starting a narrative on how we combat paedophilia and sexual abuse as a whole? There's recently been a sexual abuse scandal with paedophilia in the BBC, there's recently been a seuxal abuse scandal with paedophilia in the Parliament, there's now a sexual abuse scandal of paedophilia in communities such as Rotherham. All these cases share a common factor, the fact that they've been allowed to carry on for far too long, all for different reasons. Instead of isolating them and treating them differently because the race of the perpetrators and victims are different, we should focus on improving the justice system so that NO ONE, from any race, ethnicity or position of trust can get away with sexual abuse.
My point isn't that we should ignore Rotherham, or ignore communities where paedophilia is permitted, my point is we shouldn't get too bogged down on the ethnicities of these sick individuals because by doing that you're ignoring the bigger picture. The authorities are quick to blame political correctness and fear of racism for their incompetence because it takes the limelight off them, the authorities have failed to act appropriately in various different cases involving different institutions and communities, by over emphasizing ethnicity and race you're failing to acknowledge the fact that our justice system is flawed. People of all different colours and different backgrounds are turning a blind-eye to sexual abuse and that needs to stop.
