Thanks for your comments Icon.For those who don't live in the UK I should explain we've had a growing issue in recent years where gangs of adult men target girls, plying them with drink, drugs and other gifts in exchange for sex. In a few high profile cases the girls have been very young, white British and usually from an unstable home environment. The men in question have tended to be British-Pakistani or British-Bangladeshi.In the most recent case I heard about in Southampton I'm convinced that the crimes were opportunistic - they were committed by Takeaway workers as underage girls would often congregate in or around such establishments. Having said that I did see on the news that some community leaders have frankly admitted there seems to be more of a perception that abusing white girls seems to be more acceptable than harming girls in their own community. I am not convinced the case has been made for this as I think the real reason is that it is simply more likely that a white British girl is going to be alone and away from home more often than in other cultures where women are more likely to be accompanied and there is a taboo on drinking alcohol.Practising racial tolerance doesn't mean we need to switch our brains off. To move to a more relevant example, many vendors on eBay were shocked by a guide I co-wrote for sellers where I said that simply writing NIGERIA=SCAM is not a safe assumption.I did this because firstly, even if you do believe that every Nigerian is a scammer, there's nothing to stop them from using false names and addresses in European countries to buy goods! Secondly, the few Nigerians I have worked with have been forthright and honest people, there's no need to engage in racial profiling!Frankly, I think this seller's attitude has more to do with blind prejudice than a considered evaluation of our respective cultural mores and although he says otherwise, this kind of discrimination is simply stupid and ignorant.V.Quote from: icon2007 on May 19, 2012, 05:32 amTo the comment regarding media branding white people racist etc and the example of Asian daughters dating etc. it's all about culture I guess in my opinion Pakistani culture is completely different than white folks culture but I wouldn't see a white folk telling his daughter not to date Asians as racist :) Also I think a lot has to be handed down to the media and the way they present things if you think about it recently in the media there's been a rise in 'Asian' sex gangs but surely they are the same as a normal sex gang? But because of the media branding it as an Asian sex gang it makes shit look even more fucked up. Like for example you would never see a headline "white sex gang been jailed" etc you get where I'm coming from? With the original OP about banning pakis yeah it's fine if he doesn't want to deal with Pakistanis but come on man by using the term "paki" is just racist point blank period he should of at least put "no Pakistanis" and maybe explained why? It's like someone saying "no ni**ers" why not just use the proper term?
