The ultimate immigration taboo has just been broken
by Guy Dampier, Telegraph:
Time to admit that, indeed, not all cultures are equally valid.
Should Britain, as has been suggested by shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick, block immigrants coming from countries with “backward, frankly mediaeval attitudes to women”? He’s been backed by leader of the Conservatives Kemi Badenoch, who has previously said that not all cultures are “equally valid” and that immigrants need to “love this country”.
These comments have been driven by the recent furore in Parliament over the rape gangs. Jenrick, among others, has argued that these crimes happened in part because many of the perpetrators came from “alien cultures”, which have very different attitudes to women – to say the least.
Take this quote from Badrul Hussain, a member of the Newcastle rape gang. When caught travelling on public transport without a ticket, he told the female ticket inspector, “All white women are only good for one thing. For men like me to … use like trash. That’s all women like you are worth”. Other testimony from victims details how frequently they were referred to as “white slags” or “white whores”.
Some have argued that this is due to general misogyny rather than any specific culture – but this is an over-abstraction. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown revealed how the wives of rape gang members sometimes blamed the victims as well, with one describing white girls as “filthy” because of the way they dressed. The wives themselves explained how hard the life of Pakistani women in Britain could be, with joyless sex provided on demand and domestic servitude.
