i am intensely skeptical that a modern government would actually avoid persecuting something as serious as systemic child rape out of a genuine concern of being seen as racist

i suppose it's not out of the realm of possibility, but it would be bizarre as hell if there wasn't another angle to this that makes more political and practical sense

It's not as if "the government" had that as a policy. It was made possible by incompetence and poor oversight on a local level. Fear of "racism" appears to been a factor though as it seems unlikely people directly involved would just make that up.

It seems like a pretty efficient way to cover your rear end, actually.


How's that? Seems to make the thing worse not better. It's an admission they saw the problem and chose not to act because whatever.

Grooming teenagers is not what most people think of when they hear "pedophilia". The moral panic is directed at something like a white van kidnapping preschoolers.
