Mick it is a fault with society that people are afraid of upsetting any sort of minorityWas it not the penchant of Tory MPs to like young boys
OsloYour suggestion that the police treat Asians more lightly because of some pinko PC fear is, frankly, b*llocks.The Office for National Statistics has figures on police stop-and-search, arrests and prosecutions.in 2011/12 (the last year that I have seen numbers for), in South Yorkshire, Asians were about 60% more likely to be stopped and searched than white British. Blacks were 150% more likely to be stopped and searched. It's a similar story all over the country. In the whole of England and Wales, blacks were 5times more likely to be stopped and searched than whites and Asians about 50% more likely. In some places, the figures were extraordinary.And the police have got tougher on minorities. Between 2007-08 and 2011-12, the number of whites stopped and searched fell by half. The number of blacks went up by 75% and the number of Asians doubled. Similar story with arrests after stop and search. Whites fell by 68%, blacks went up by 30%, Asians went up by 43%.The whole story about the police going easy on ethnic minorities is demonstrable bullshit. There MAY have been problems in Rotherham. Again, we only have anecdotal evidence in a poorly written report to go on. But to draw from that a conclusion that we live in a country (well you don't, obviously) where the police take it easy on ethnic minorities because they are terrified of lefties calling them names is bullshit. I don't know why you're so keen to peddle that story.
