“One's bound to need to fall on one's sword if implicating the whole community.”
My comprehension lessons at school must have been different to yours, OG. She did not implicate the whole community. If she has been quoted correctly, Ms Champion said this:
"Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls".
And it does. She did not say that all British Pakistani men rape and exploit white girls. She said we have a problem with those that do. At the very worst, she might have inserted the word “some” before “British Pakistani men” but that’s about it. Whenever there is a problem in this country which is caused by people almost exclusively from a particular section of society, howls of anguish go up suggesting that all the members of that section are being stigmatised. If the problem had been reversed and it was young Muslim girls being raped almost exclusively by white English men, would anybody have objected if she had pointed that out in the way she has highlighted this problem? Let’s say she said "Britain has a problem with white English men raping and exploiting Pakistani Muslim girls". Does this accuse all white English men of being rapists? Of course not because most reasonable people are capable of understanding what is being said without taking third-party offence.
