Why do some media feel the need to add the race/ethnicity of the criminal if not to stir up racism and xenophobia?

Because in their culture, women are not equal and white women who are not Muslim are lower than the lowest. They've imagined they can bring their archaic culture here. But we don't want it.

Of course white men rape and they should be punished. But denying the inherent misogyny and racism of these Pakistani "men" though, is not helpful.

A Jewish boys’ school has been criticised by Ofsted after it discovered pupils share a “universal view” that a woman’s only role is to “look after children, clean the house and cook”.

Beis Aharon School in Stamford Hill, north London was visited by inspectors from the education watchdog who found it did not meet the required standards for an independent school.

The school, which charges annual fees of £2,860, was found to be prioritising the “ethos of its faith” over educational standards and not preparing children for life in modern British society.
