Are, or were, there a minority of social workers/local council officials reluctant to acknowledge the problems for the reasons you suggest? I believe so…yes.

This doesn’t excuse it but I also, professionally, came across an alarming number of white, locally bred, parents and relatives who were a) complicit in not caring less what there kids were getting up to and b) involved in much more solitary s@xual exploitation of young girls including, on occasions, their own children, nieces and grandchildren.

It’s a particularly unpleasant can of worms Tricky and the biggest difference is that where the grooming gangs take a collective form the more ‘home grown’ exploiters/abusers are more likely to act alone. Doesn’t make a lot of difference to the victim but you can’t demonise one group while ignoring the other.
RA, I am not picking on one type of peado, ahead of anyone.
What I don't like,7
1. is the scale in a small area of racially tagetted white girls only, that should ring alarm bells
2. The girls were ignored despite cries for help
3. The authorites were "scared" to do anything incase cries of "racist" and riots broke out.

That is the crux of it. Ignore a problem or excuse it, only feeds it and it manifests into other things.
Now we have the attacks and attempts to tell schools/ politicians how society will run.

Name me one other "extreme" group at this moment of time, causing such chaos and divisiveness.

Folks are under the impression, that the whole country is one happy family of diversity. It isn't and my views get shouted down for pointing it out. I mentioned Leicester and no one bothered to acknowledge that one.
