I have no problem with multiculturalism and all that, but some of the recent overcorrections against racism and prejudice are getting pretty ridiculous. The Rotherham scandal also comes to mind.

>The inquiry's initial report, published on 26 August 2014, condemned the failure of the authorities in Rotherham to act effectively against the abuse and even, in some cases, to acknowledge that it was taking place.
>Members of the British-Pakistani Muslim community condemned both the sexual abuse and the fact that it had been covered up for fear of "giving oxygen" to racism.
It's ironic, because I would bet that cover up gave far more "oxygen" to racism in the long run than investigating and reporting on it like they would any other crime.
