UK sex scandal case of ‘not wanting to rock multicultural community boat’
#Rotherham scandal's origins lie in something quite ordinary: "not wanting to rock the multicultural community boat." http://t.co/zu44SPfSv5

Forbes contributor Roger Scruton wrote this weekend on an underreported and appalling story out of the British town of Rotherham: over 1,400 cases of abuse, often sexual, of children. A 153-page report by the former chief inspector of social work in Scotland notes a disturbing truth: “One fact stands out above all the horrors detailed in the document, which is that the girl victims were white, and their abusers Pakistani.”
Scruton blames political correctness and the fear of being accused of ‘institutionalised racism’ for the lack of action:
My faith in humanity just hit an all time low, what with ISIL, Rotherham and now this…
Can our great race recover its moral compass?

Citizens of #Rotherham who are #Pakistani should condemn the actions publicly because the rest of us are sick of these #ChildAbuse gangs

Forbes opinion editor Avik Roy notes that one commenter to Forbes’ story advised burkas for girls over 10.
