1,400 English Girls Raped by Multiculturalism

Last week, it was revealed that between 1997 and 2013, at least 1,400 girls -- in just one relatively small English city (Rotherham, population 275,000) had been raped by gangs of men over the past decade.

As summarized in a British government inquiry:

"It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered. They were raped by multiple perpetrators, trafficked to other towns and cities in the north of England, abducted, beaten, and intimidated. There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent rapes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone. Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators."

Why was nothing done for 16 years?

Police incompetence was a factor, but not the primary reason.

The primary reason was political correctness. It turns out that the perpetrators were all, or nearly all, of "Pakistani heritage" and the girls were all, or nearly all, white.

This explanation is not that of conservatives alone. Virtually everyone, including media and politicians on the British left, acknowledge that this is the reason. What neither they nor the American left have acknowledged is that political correctness was created and is sustained by the left.

It is a testament to the lack of self-awareness on the left that it experiences no cognitive dissonance. The New York Times and other left-wing media have thoroughly reported this story and the fact that political correctness is to blame for the ongoing atrocities against these girls. Yet they are oblivious to the fact that they are the very ones who created the moral monsters known as political correctness, multiculturalism and diversity -- the doctrines that forbid judging non-whites, Muslims and others by the same moral standards as whites and Christians.

These left-wing doctrines made 16 years of gang rapes of English girls possible.

In 2002, a Labor Party MP from nearby Keighley, Ann Cryer, complained to the police about "young Asian lads" raping girls in her constituency. In her words, she "was shunned by elements of her party." And note, that as is demanded by the left in the U.K., she didn't even mention that the rapists were Pakistani, lest Muslims be blamed for this evil. They were "Asian lads."

And, for the record, her attempts to get local imams to intervene with the men failed; she was called a racist.
