Just as with pedo gangs, people don't want to bring race into it for fear of insulting the minority that's the majority issue in this instances.

Stereotypes and jumping to conclusions typically happen when 9 times out of 10 there's a common link.

You are referring to the Catholic Church abuse scandal of course.

Every time I read a thread like this I'm glad I live in the Shires.

There's that, which is documented and the Asian grooming gangs which we can't mention because then someone mentions Jimmy savile to counter it

Do you see a lot of asian men street racing around there? Maybe.

Does that mean you can point at any asian man and assume they're a street racer? No.

By the way you can substitute street racer with any activity you like it still works.

If there was a story in the paper saying how someone on horseback in Surrey had damaged a car and then made their escape across the fields, you could probably jump to the wild conclusion the perp would be white, and nobody would call you racist.

If someone crashes an S3 in Birmingham while racing a chap called Hussan and then legs it, it is not unreasonable to suspect that he might just be an Asian guy. I notice that no one is saying it could be a girl, you bunch of sexists!!

I don't even know why that is an issue for anyone!

I come from Birmingham originally, its completely unrecognisable to me now left over 20 years, but visit family. Much racing and bravado in less than perfect bling and no police or worse a hands off approach to policing.

Appologies for my grammatical error, but now make it 4 knifepoint robberies as there was another yesterday evening less than a mile from my home.
