Crime statistics by country of origin

The government is proposing to publish crime statistics by country of origin.

A few weeks ago I mentioned some statistics from other European countries (and in fact the UK) showing that sex crimes against women by men of certain countries are 40 times those of the indigenous British. I got called racist (the stats are by country not race) and of course the stats were removed as racist.

Personally I think women's safety should be the overriding priority and such statistics should be used as part of a process to determine who can move to the UK. Why allow in men who statistically will carry out 40 times the sex crimes of the indigenous population? Let in women by all means.

I am genuinely interested why my view is racist when to me it is simply prioritising women's safety. AIBU to want immigration processes to prioritise women's safety?

@MiloMinderbinder925 I’m not taking on board what you’re saying because it’s so breathtakingly stupid.

but for the millionth time, for the avoidance of all doubt, the law can be changed to descriminate in this way. You may not agree that it SHOULD be, but that does not mean that it can’t be.

Dealing with reality is stupid but banging on about changing our legal system and withdrawing from all Human Rights law is intelligent?

It's been explained to you how a blanket ban on certain countries isn't possible. The best way of countering that isn't to shout "STOOPID!" It's to explain how it is possible given the many obstacles.

I'm all ears.

Some fairly damning stats from Catalonia if anyone is interested. Most rapists there are foreign-born (91%, but making up 17% of the population) as are a disproportionate amount of those convicted of other sexual assaults.

And no it's not Brits before anyone implies that. Moroccan are the most prolific offenders.
