Yasmin Alibhai Brown: Jack Straw is right to ask hard questions about Asian men

Like I said, the most famous businessman from a minority in the UK is currently James Caan, he was born in Pakistan.

Ok, without getting into a pissing contest, where would you put Lakshmi Mittal? Btw, Tata is the largest employer in the manufacturing space within the UK.

They might have 'pissing' contests in India but watch what you write on this forum.

James Caan is a popular Businessman becuase he is also a TV personality.

On the otherhand, most individuals wouldn't even know who Mittal is in the UK.

Wasn't trying to be offensive. Was pointing out that this Pakistani/Indian comparisons are becoming childish.

Nobody knows who the richest man in the UK is? That's a bit of a stretch, surely. In any case fame is an intangible criteria. More people have probably heard of liz hurley's husband than they have of TATA. Means nothing. Would be a difficult sell to say that Arun Nayar is more important than Tata.
 
But many do, the point is not to marginalise whole communities when a handful have commited a certain crime. When the majority is law abiding and hard working, then there should not be public statements made that target the whole community.

Jack Straws own brother was convicted of abusing a teenage girl, going by his logic, all Straws must be hugry for some teenage 'white meat'.



Can you provide me with a link please.



Most rednecks cannot even find Pakistan on a map, let alone discuss things rationally.

Many think Pakistan is in the Middle East.



Again, its not factually correct to say that there are more 'Pakistani' crooks than Indians, no one has counted them and neither can you provide any proof of it.

I don't agree with these comments made by Jack Straw myself. But we as migrants should try not to give excuses to people like him to malign our communities. I mean why did he single out Pakistanis? He could have said "All asians". Surely there are some Pakistanis in Britain who are doing something wrong don't you think?

And as for the link about the claims i made, it was published by Australian Bureau of Statistics. They have an online version but it doesn't include data for all countries. And you need to pay some fee if you wan't the complete data. I have sent them an email saying how i need it for Uni research work, will see if i can get it for you.

Why did he not say All Asians? Because of politicial reasons perhaps? Elections in towns divided along ethnic lines?

There's many reasons. The point being no single group is immune from looking at women as easy meat. Do immigrants do it? Probably. Do natives in Western country do it? For sure. But the singling out of ethnic groups is usually for political purposes. Much like the Dutch have successfully cultivated the Loverboys stereotype of Dutch Morroccan men.

I will admit that Pakistani men are good lovers and physiques do improve in a southeastern to northwestern cline in the subcontinent. This too impacts on such cases.
 
Yasmin Alibhai Brown: Jack Straw is right to ask hard questions about Asian men
Fear of racism should no longer be the veil covering up hard truths

Yasmin Alibhai Brown is just part of a group that would like to create the perception that there is a culture of silence based off political correctness in these cases.

If there was a culture of silence, why is it that the only cases the public knows about are those involving Muslim, and predominantly British Pakistani men? Most of the offenders in this type of crime are white. This is acknowledged by the major organizations involved in investigating this type of crime.

She is trying to add to the conspiracy that there is a culture of silence so that rebuttals that this is a racist bias (which it is) can be refuted.
