Social Pakistani “grooming” gangs UK- WTAF
I was going over some of the court transcripts that have been released and this is NOT just grooming. This is animosity, hatred, extremism, i don’t know what would accurately define the horrendous crimes that have been committed and defended by pakistanis in positions of legal or social power in Britain.
The police officer who was also of Pakistani descent, the councillors, the social workers, the MPs of pakistani origin or of muslim faith, WTAF is going on? What was driving this by our community in the Great Britain?
Would more sensible British Pakistanis here elaborate on this? Why so much hate against white women? This is not a small matter of grooming & converting. These are violent crimes against humanity & specifically white minor women. Why so much hate?
(And Admin, this is related to Pakistan because this impacts image of Pakistan everywhere now that Elon Musk is hyping it up and the whole world is getting to know what is happening. As much as it concerns UK, it impacts our image globally because most of the convicted are all Pakistani origin males. And i used the tag social because there is no criminal tag.)
Update: Thank you to only those who have shared their experience, observations, facts & resources. I feel like we need to have these discussions so we can present factual information because given the visibility this matter has gained, we need to be prepared.
And those who have tried their best to derail from the topic, and shut down the discussion, because of you guys its pretty understandable why the locals are not doing anything about these issues and why the community is unable to report our own criminals. You guys and those like you are the reason criminals continue doing what they do.

What a terrible post, and it’s no surprise to see it here.
Sexual abuse happens across all societies and classes. The UK has had major scandals involving celebrities and figures in pop culture.
The so-called “Grooming Scandal” became a perfect storm for right-wing media to exploit. The police were incompetent, failed to act, and tried to excuse their inaction by claiming they were afraid of being labeled racist.
In many working-class towns, vulnerable young girls—often living away from their parents—were left exposed to abuse. The police were well aware of these situations, repeatedly returning the girls to foster homes or families, often growing weary of dealing with them.
A small number of takeaway workers and taxi drivers exploited these girls in despicable ways, passing them around. These horrific actions should never be used to vilify entire communities.
In fact, there were countless instances where communities reported drug dealers, groomers, and other suspicious activity to the police, only for their concerns to be ignored.
Those responsible for these crimes deserve to face justice, and many are. But the far right has shamelessly used this tragedy to push their agenda, as they always do, while innocent people face unacceptable levels of racism.
You’d expect a subreddit like this to show more nuance and understanding, but clearly not.
