Why do you lie?

Between 1997 and 2013, girls were abused by grooming gangs of predominantly Pakistani men.

Rotherdam is the most famous case yes. But there are dozens in the UK sadly, and most were not commited by people with any asian heritage.

However they also got a fraction of the news coverage.

The Rotherdam police had been investigated 3 times before 2013, and they failed all the inspections.

The Sarah Everatt investigation found serious deficiencies in UK policing.

The last 300 page comprehensive report on UK police found systemic mysoginy, classicism and racism at all levels across the ranks and had very direct improvement plans all of which have not even began to be implemented.

So the hoax is it was a singular big pakistani rape gang + unrelated cases, and there is no evidence of a racially motivated coverup?

EDIT no, wikipedia says plural "gangs" also. I have zero idea what a rape gang even is, an organized crime group providing access to foster home girls?

The hoax is two fold

1) is that the main predictor is race

2) that the cases were uninvestigated because of race

Neither is true. Dozens of cases all found commonalities, and they were working class victims and police lack of professionalism.

> I have zero idea what a rape gang even is, an organized crime group providing access to foster home girls?

Its an umbrella term for multiple men, having a system to take advantage of women. In some cases its offering access to drugs, in other cases is giving them gifts, sometimes its using an attractive man as bait.

A famous case happened recently in france where a man was basically drugging his wife and when she was passed out allowing men to come to his house.

Every case its a different type of horrific nightmare. People who try to make it about race instead of finding proactive solutions (like investigating how a judge in Rotherdam with video evidence in front of him ignored it) give 0 fucks about the victims.

And its unsurprising that in protests against this cases, 70% of the men attending had domestic abuse cases. Because protecting women is not their cause, hating brown people is.

Oh, I thought it was rape-rape, not giving foster home girls drugs and gifts in exchange for sex they might or might not have enjoyed. Thank you for doing the dirty work of debunking.

Many of the girls are underage, and cannot consent, coercing them to do it will always be ra pe
