Why are there so many white men on the news for being pedophiles?

It's kinda constant. If there are police units which primarily deal with 'black on black crimes, Kurdish/Chinese gangs', surely it would make sense to open a unit that primarily looks into the phenomenon of 'white men and kiddie abuse'?

I haven't NC as I don't see why I have to. I am genuinely curious if I am the only one who has noticed that child abuse is committed mostly by white men. I agree obviously that not ALL white men are child abusers, but the figures are staggering.

Hmm
LuisGarcia · 06/06/2013 02:42

Which figures are staggering?

MadameDefarge · 06/06/2013 02:48

vivizone, you are clearly living in some kid of news-free bubble.

I suggest subscribing to a decent national newspaper.

Paedophilia is not restricted to any race.

vivizone · 06/06/2013 02:49

The figures are easily searchable.Will link shortly as in middle of doing something.

Therefore our police forces should and do concentrate on the offenders.

MadameDefarge · 06/06/2013 02:50

who amazingly enough tend to be men.

MadameDefarge · 06/06/2013 02:50

Do you not have exams to revise for?

MadameDefarge · 06/06/2013 02:51

And you might want to look up how to spell paedophiles. Ooh! look! I did it for you!

vivizone · 06/06/2013 02:52

Paedophilia IS in EVERY race BUT what I see reported often in the news re it is white men. Just like I see more gun crime reports on minorities. Why is it so bad to ask this question?

What exams? are white men exempt from being discussed 0on here? funny we discuss everyone else. Hmm

Er. what? you are incomprehensible. therefore I do not understand what you are saying.

white men commit crimes against children? Is this meant to be news?

gun crime is another issue entirely.

I just dont get what you are trying to say?

white men in a predominantly white society abuse children?

Yeah. Pretty bad. But what is your point? You want a special task force to tackle white male on child abuse?

I think you will find they are called the police.

MadameDefarge · 06/06/2013 03:04

you really do need to spell out what you are concerned about.

btw. few people on MN will appreciate the term "kiddie abuse".

MadameDefarge · 06/06/2013 03:12

If on the other hand you advocated a special task force to work on the abuse of children....

MadameDefarge · 06/06/2013 03:18

you gone vivzone?

Mimishimi · 06/06/2013 03:44

If you lived in India, you would hear more about Indian pedophiles than white ones. If you live in a white majority country, you can also expect more of the offenders to be white.

TigerSwallowTail · 06/06/2013 05:42

Have you found those stats yet?

gillywillywoo · 06/06/2013 06:19

Well if you're using that link as your evidence then you're missing the whole point of that article.

CreatureRetorts · 06/06/2013 06:23

Most people in this country are white (I do find the whole white/black label incredibly simiplistic and silly) so what do you expect?

Have you done an analysis of pedophilia across the world then Hmm

MammaTJ · 06/06/2013 06:28

OMG, my DP is white AND he's a man. I'd better leave him immediately, if not sooner!

HollyBerryBush · 06/06/2013 07:14

You've missed the point of the whole article OP, it is satirical.

But all of the above arguments were made within various parts of our print and broadcast media when similarly small numbers of Muslim men were revealed to be grooming young girls for sex. If you think the claims about white people are wrong, then so is the stereotyping of Britain's Muslims, and the widespread questioning of their culture and their religion, because of the perverted actions of a few.

BetteDavis01 · 06/06/2013 07:16

How racist of you OP

rabbitlady · 06/06/2013 08:04

proportionate. how many white people, how many from other ethnic groups? and how many from each are known to perpetrate child sexual abuse?
definitions. what is child sexual abuse? marriage at 12 is allowed in some countries, sex before sixteen is prohibited in the uk.
no answers. just think there are more questions to be asked before conclusions are reached.

Mawgatron · 06/06/2013 22:03

I think the op is trying to make the point that if there is an Asian gang of paedophiles grooming young girls, the media jumps on their ethnic/cultural background, and therefore op is questioning why the same does not happen for white men.

LEMisdisappointed · 06/06/2013 22:05

eh??
