I feel like it has become the trend among the right-on types simply to roll their eyes any time someone mentions crimes committed by Muslims.
If someone brings up Rotherham, you will see a reaction of indifference, which isn't truly indifference because it's so obvious that what they want is for everyone to think that they're indifferent. And they're showing that they're indifferent, because they want to separate themselves from anyone who brings up Rotherham. Why? Because anyone who speaks about Rotherham is considered a xenophobe, a bigot, a loony, a nationalist, or/and a Daily Mail reading Fox News Christian conservative.
The reason they dismiss anyone bringing up the topic is that it was undeniably pressure to be politically correct that led to allowance of the grooming gang's existence, and the crimes themselves were extremely racist in that they only targeted white girls, and of course, the criminals were all Muslim.
These are all very awkward truths that the right-on media has utterly failed to address.
This really is a pretty sad state of affairs. What happened in Rotherham is probably the most awful thing which has happened in the UK in the last ten years. And yet already (because it's so uncomfortable to talk about it, and because it's so fashionable to show indifference) if you mention it people act like you're bringing up some old gripe from the past.
