Not a race crime? deliberately targeting a certain race over another? sounds like the definition of it to me, these girls were targeted because they are white and in some parts of the muslim community white girls are considered not as trash (silly phrase which degrades the victims) but as a non entity and not deserving of any respect, it's a hand me down from the cast system.Booji Boy wrote:Rape is rape regardless of colour according to the law.

Do you think that if this were a group of white men targeting black girls then it would have been prosecuted and reported differently?
Not sure what point you are trying to make. Muslim grooming gangs are referred to as such. But its not a race crime if they rape someone.

The point is that this case was treated differently by the authorities because it was "racially sensitive" and that is not right, this is what I mean by political correctness gone mad, the raid on Cliff Richard's home was shown live on TV in what was a totally false allegation and all allegations were dropped and the police forced to apologise, the Telford case and arrests were not even reported on the BBC for fear of provoking allegations of racial bias.
These girls have gone through hell and yet all the headlines are taken by some celebrity who having been dropped by the BBC for inappropriate dress during the winter olympics now needs a few headlines in order to get her face and name back to the top of the career ladder, all of a sudden she brings up a four year old incident and the press lap it up. Somewhere the priorities of the authorities and the press have been lost and their decisions manipulated by issues of race and gender, both of which should never figure in any decision to prosecute or publish. No way am I saying that Ross wasn't wrong and stupid by the way.
