Re: Jack Straw, Racist or Correct?
I think many of the Asian leaders are in denial about this situation.
They see Jack Straw as being in the position of stereotyping males of Pakistani origin.
This would be an acceptable stance from the Asian leaders if we were hearing of gangs of white men behaving in the same way, but we aren't....and it has been happening for a good many years and the community leaders have preferred to ignore it
