It's not a crime to cite old instances, even if the crimes are horrendous as in this case. Everything harks back to something else... and to use that fact to suggest there was more that could have been done, well, I don't see that as sick. I see it as citing a precedent.

The Asian child grooming gangs targeted young white girls. There is no denying that. It was the fear of offending that stopped this horrific incident coming to light earlier, so the girls involved continued to be abused and/or not believed. No decent, thinking person imagines that every Asian man thinks this was any more than decent, thinking people imagine all Muslims are terrorists. It is only idiots who believe stuff like that. And denying those young girls a voice for fear of offending a community who was equally outraged at what happened, backfired on the mainly white, middle-class people who made the mistake of not allowing the incident to be dragged fully into the light... in my opinion.
