How Multiculturalism Leads to Mass Rape

 by John Hinderaker

We have been writing about the Rotherham scandal since 2014, more than a decade ago. At that time, I summarized the scandal this way:

Rotherham is a city of around 250,000 in Yorkshire, where at least 1,400 girls were raped, and in many instances prostituted, by gangs consisting mostly or entirely of Pakistani men. It seems to be generally acknowledged that the local authorities had a good idea what was going on, but the criminal rings nevertheless flourished for something like 16 years.

Britain’s government appointed a committee to investigate. That committee’s report suggested that commitment to multiculturalism played a part in the abuse of more than 1,000 girls:

Several staff described their nervousness about identifying the ethnic origins of perpetrators for fear of being thought racist; others remembered clear direction from their managers not to do so.

Here as elsewhere, Britain’s police were more worried about enforcing a left-wing consensus than enforcing the law.

So what has happened in the ten years that have elapsed since the Rotherham scandal came to light? It turns out that Rotherham was not a one-off. In many cities across England, Muslim men were raping, prostituting, and sometimes murdering, young–often pre-teen–English girls. As these crimes have continued to come to light, demands have spread for a comprehensive investigation into how such outrages could happen. Rather than responding to such requests for justice, Britain’s government has tried to stamp them out. In the eyes of the U.K.’s elites, it is of paramount importance that their multicultural narrative not be sullied.

Mark Steyn has tried for years to bring attention to Britain’s gang rape scandal. For example:

It seems reasonable to assume that the mass sexual exploitation of young girls is occurring in every English town with even a modest (as in Rotherham) “Asian” population, boundlessly cocksure and assertive, and a feeble British officialdom too cowed and appeasing to resist. The real word for what is happening is evil – for a society that will not defend its youngest and most vulnerable girls is surely capable of rationalizing many more wicked accommodations in the years ahead.

After all this time, the U.K. is being roiled by demands for a comprehensive investigation of the industrial-scale rape and sexual abuse that has been inflicted on that country’s girls. But the Labour government, having initially pledged such an investigation, has now backed off:

It was bad enough in January, when Labour rejected widespread demands for a full, national, public inquiry – and instead promised five measly local inquiries. Yet on Tuesday afternoon, we discovered that even those meagre sops may be denied us. Because, at the last possible moment before the Easter parliamentary recess, the Government slipped out a statement, announcing that it will instead adopt a “flexible approach” – meaning that, if the relevant councils don’t fancy an inquiry, they can choose to spend the allocated funds in some other, “more bespoke” way.

Yeah, right. Let’s sweep the whole thing under the rug. Many speculate that Labour doesn’t want to investigate, because some of its own leaders have been involved in raping underage girls. I have no idea whether that is true or not, but one wonders: why, exactly, would a government want to deep-six a mass rape scandal, impacting many thousands of girls and their families? Has rape ceased to be a crime if it is committed by an “Asian”?

Imagine that the roles in this scandal had been reversed. Imagine that, for many years, in scores of towns across this country, gangs composed of white, British, predominantly Christian men had specifically targeted Muslim girls. And imagine that, while raping these countless thousands of Muslim girls, the white, British, predominantly Christian gangs had called them “Muslim sl–s” and “Muslim wh—s”.

In response to such a horrific scandal, what do we think this Labour government would have done? Surely it would, quite rightly, have launched a full, national, public inquiry, wouldn’t it?

No doubt many people will reply that the answer is yes. After lengthy reflection, though, I disagree. I think there would have been no inquiry at all – for the simple reason that holding one would have been impossible.

Because, had the scandal above actually taken place, and then been exposed, our country would now be an uninhabitable smoking ruin.

When a country prioritizes left-wing social experiments over fundamental law enforcement, it is doomed.
