I don't have an issue in naming them! Nor do the Courts. Let people draw their own conclusions if they wish to.

I mean naming them by origin. It’s been proven so the fact it might hurt some people’s feelings is irrelevant. Their feelings aren’t being hurt as much as those of the victims, past, present, or God forbid, future.

Apart from making you feel better please explain why naming their origins will help anything, or anyone, especially their victims?

Surely what matters most is to ensure that anyone contemplating such despicable behaviour is discouraged from doing so. That must be helped if we can ensure that the community they come from doesn't cover up for, or hide them. We need them to be outcasts everywhere. Isolate them as the criminals they are. It takes effort and time but we can all help by thinking things through.

I just see nothing positive at all in continuing to use ethnicity as a descriptive and potential benefits from stopping it.

Before their activities were widely known how many from that community went to the authorities to report this activity?

Who really knows how many would feel offended and how deeply? There are always going to be some in the middle who would swing towards supporting the authorities if they feel supported by them and the other way if they feel abused by them.

Why take the risk? What is the benefit? Is it greater than the risk. My instinct is that it isn't and that this careless use of language is not being thought through. Particularly by the tabloid press who like a good headline to wind up their readership.

But it’s not only the tabloid press and posters on here calling them pakistani gangs is it

Certainly if any wife/mother suspected their “man” of these crimes, they would not have reported it, women in pakistani culture are very much hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil

So long as they aren't breaking the law then describing them as pakistani cricket supporters seems accurate and inoffensive.

I am not in the least reluctant to "admit the heritage"! You, and others, are completely missing the point.

The point is whether it is helpful to class them as such in the context of criminal behaviour?

Does it aid prosecution? Does it deter others? Or does it risk alienating good people by tarnishing them.

If the answers are, no, no and yes then why do it?

No it does not risk alienating good people, no one has even suggested all pakistanis are rapists and they aren't.

If one single girl is saved from being raped by being more informed you must agree that's a good thing. You would rather make life easier for potential victims not harder, right ?

I did.
Are you struggling to answer mine? Still waiting for you to tell me what TR has said that is racist?

I have no idea what "question" you think I haven't answered. I have already answered your attempts to throw mud about my description of an undertone in the debate. I know of nothing else.

The question, as you well know' was 'why do you think its ok for you to use the term P**i in your earlier post when you spend so much time telling others not to use the word pakistani?

Don’t be thick. Let’s try again. If you don’t want me to join in a debate you are having with someone else don’t have that debate with someone else on an open forum.

I don't know. Do you? If not, why not and what must we do about it?

That there remains, at least the perception of, intimidation, especially of women by certain men, within some communities seems obvious.

Overcoming that has to be one of the aims.

That's true but it doesn't make it a wise thing to do.

I learned long ago that sometimes people don't think hard enough about the consequences of things and just follow the herd. Being in a minority of one has never concerned me either.

To coin a phrase it’s Catch-22. If no one came forward then why not? If they did then why was nothing done about it?
I agree the fear of ostracisation, or worse, within the community outweighs everything else. How to resolve that problem is beyond me.
