This is the wrong headline, it has nothing to do with Asian men, it's not racial, its Muslims and their world view.

9 men sent to jail in UK for raping, abusing girls in case that stirred racial tensions

Quote:
“All of you treated (the victims) as though they were worthless and beyond any respect,” the judge told the nine men. “One of the factors leading to that was the fact that they were not part of your community or religion.”

D - I don't think it's as simple as that.
  • Based on their ancestry, I think Islam may be a contributing factor for a number of this group, but we don't know that all of these men are, in fact, Muslim.
  • Geographically speaking, they are Asian men.*
  • Such racially motivated behaviors remains a factor amongst groups where social alienation and the latent effects of various international policies (e.g., colonialism, slavery, religion, etc) continue to be used as perverse justification for people's misbehaviors throughout our modern world.

And so it goes...
