The media use the term "Asian" but we all know what that actually means.

Obviously this is just telling us what we already know and what plenty of us have been saying for years. But at least we have some actual facts and figures to go off and the authors of this report are Muslim themselves so can't be automatically dismissed as racist and "Islamophobic" by the usual suspects.
The authors actually wanted to debunk what they thought was a myth but as one of them admits:
“We began thinking we would debunk the media narrative that Asians are over-represented in this specific crime. But, when the final numbers came in we were alarmed and dismayed. For both of us being of Pakistani heritage, this issue is deeply personal and deeply disturbing.”
And unlike so many others, at least they went ahead and published the truth, even if it wasn't what they wanted to find.
But it's also very important to remember that this staggering over representation is despite the fact the authorities and have spent years ignoring and covering up these crimes. So the reality of the situation is actually far worse and much more wide spread.
