This would be an acceptable stance 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
It makes it even more credible in a way, coming from Jack Straw because many of the voters who elected him in Blackburn were likely to be Asians
