Guess the US Department of State should drop those advisories on woman's dress when traveling to middle eastern countries then? My ex lived there with her family and it was common to be gropped and treated like a prostitute if you were uncovered or unaccompanied. When our government has to warn against other cultures because of thier government institutionalized rape culture there is a clash and it has nothing to do with anyone being brown, but it does have everything to do with there foreign culture. So you think thier culture is the equivalent of ours?

That's pretty much the point though, isn't it?

That these targeted race/hate crimes (because that what it is) by "brown foreigners" against a particular demographic (white girls) in the US and England ... (and increasingly, places like Germany) is basically swept under the rug?

In England it was a highlevel cover up over a DECADE in the making. ON PURPOSE. By the government and police and media. To this day it isn't well known outside of England.

It's a news story if you have a group of people PRESERVING the "honor" of their "own kind" while targeting girls of other race and religion as whores.

But meanwhile you actually DO know about that college athlete, don't you? And you have outrage for what happened there while countless stories like that are repeated to highlight "white privilege" while someone like Jameis Winston is still playing.... AND having the school PAY his victim on his behalf to boot!
