I read this this morning. One of the worst academic papers I have read. Very light on facts, very heavy on rhetoric, mainly accusing everyone of being racist.Originally Posted by SLUDGE FACTORY
Obviously it was published in the guardian in 2020 at the height of period of madness so that it's readers could put off their reality pills for a little longer.
No one is saying that anyone from any group is more or less likely to be a paedophile than any other. That would be false and likely very racist esp if applied to anyone from a particular group.
But that's not what is being said. These crimes DID happen. What happened/happens is that groups have used power for protection. In the past thiz may have been the catholic Church using silence, fear, political power etc. In recent years a small minority have used the power of accusations of racism, ably supported by useful idiots to rape kids. Just as no one ever said all Catholics are abusers no one is saying anything similar here. But there is a connection.
As I say, I think it's pretty shameful at the UKs ability to overlook this.
