Nothing, if that indeed is the case.

Are we talking about men specifically form the nation for Pakistan here? Is there something about men who are from that one one country who commit offences like this?

Or are we talking about muslims in general?

Either generalisation is acceptable if it has some foundation in truth.

Or are we just talking about brown-skinned people that we don't like very much and would like to chuck as much dirt as possible at, a bit like the way "paedo" has become a common playground insult in football grounds?

I have no more desire than anyone to see anyone who exploits children in a sexual way go unpunished, whether that is because they cannot be properly investigated due to police political correctness or because they're being sheltered by the Catholic Church or the royal family.

My work has taken me into contact with many Asian people, may people from Pakistan and many muslims. Purely in my experience I am at a loss to explain why these offences happen or that there may be a cultural issue. The most I hear about it is on the likes of Facebook from racist nuggets sharing stuff from the likes of Robinson and Hopkins. I'm not saying there isn't a problem or can't be one, but simply that I've not been overly impressed by the sources putting forward the argument so far.
Moulin Yarns posted an interesting Guardian article, on this thread. It says it is not possible to establish cultural reasons for groups of men, predominantly of Pakistani origin bring involved in grooming gangs.

It seems beyond dispute that there is a disproportionate number of men from a similar background committing these offences. What is more difficult to establish is why.

Attempts by some to ignore what is plain to see are only providing ammunition to the likes of Hopkins and Robinson. IMO things like that play right into the downtrodden white people mindset.

People constantly say they are ignored. Usually there is a good reason - they are talking pants. However, when they have concrete evidence of what they see as others getting away with what they wouldn't, it doubles their grievance.

We have to acknowledge that these crimes were covered up for some reason. It is essential that we establish what that reason was, learn, and move on.
