As Mark Steyn noted, many years ago, observing the incongruity of a hijab-clad Muslim woman passing a gay stall in a Western city, “in 30 years’ time, either the Arab lady will still be there, or the condom store, but not both. Which would you bet on?” It’s barely taken ten years to settle the bet. If you put your money on the cheeky gay store, you lost.

At the same time, by a strange coincidence, any western country that, willingly or not, admits a flood of “migrants” from the shitholes of the world suddenly seems to experience a spike in rape and sexual assault. Not least against children.

Why does this keep happening?

Certainly, the great and good chattering class of Capital-M Multiculturalism are adamant that there’s no connection between teleporting millions of people from backwards cultures to the culturally permissive West, and a whole lotta barbarians helping themselves to what they clearly see as a smorgasbord of all-ages flesh laid out for the taking.

After all, the Multicult steadfastly denies that there’s even any such thing as a backwards culture. All cultures, the conceit goes, are equally valid and wonderful. Except, of course, for Western culture — which they just as often deny even exists.

I mean, what did the West ever do, as far as your average “progressive” is concerned? I mean, apart from stamping out slavery, deciding for the first time in human history that taking other peoples’ land wasn’t such a good thing any more, granting voting rights to all adults, granting any kind of rights to women, and especially deciding that women don’t deserve to get raped.

If the noble and diverse cultures of the “Other” haven’t got that memo yet, well, that’s just all part of the vibrant tapestry of Multiculturalism. Just lie back and think of diversity, girls.

Child rape, gang rape, incest — it’s been a long time since we’ve seen much of that in the United States. Of course, there are lots of things we thought had been abolished a hundred years ago that our immigration policies are bringing back.

When the left started brandishing a 10-year-old rape victim as their latest political voodoo dolly, they were notably reticent to say much about the sort of vile scumbag who would actually rape a 10-year-old. Why on earth would that be?

The rapist was an illegal immigrant from Guatemala […]

Women rallying around the menfolk — who are rapists — is something else that’s new to Americans. But such behavior is disturbingly well-known to police and prosecutors who deal with large immigrant populations.

Two decades ago, when a gang of young Muslims were perpetrating highly-co-ordinated pack rapes of white girls in Sydney, the media went on the attack. Not against the rapists — heavens, no — but against anyone who dared notice that they were young Muslim men. After the girls had been done over by the rapists and the media, they were given another serve in court, by the rapists’ families.

Like Muslims, Hispanic cultures have quite the victim-blaming mentality, according to criminal justice professor Shana L. Maier.

“Because maintaining the honor of the family is important, Hispanics and Latinos are more likely than other racial/ethnic groups to blame the victim. The victim, not the perpetrator, is blamed for bringing dishonor to the family.”

Hispanics and Muslims are not the only immigrant culture with notions that, were they espoused by white men, would have media and feminists howling and shredding their pussy hats for months on end.

After your government undertook a massive program to relocate the Hmong people from Laos to Minnesota (and elsewhere in the U.S.), local law enforcement and medical authorities began to notice a striking upsurge in gang rape and forced prostitution. At one St. Paul clinic, a pediatric nurse calculated that Hmong girls were about six times more likely than other victims to have been raped by five or more people.

But their families blame the child rape victims. “In Hmong culture,” the Associated Press matter-of-factly explained, “a girl who loses her virginity before marriage may be looked down upon by her own relatives, even if she is forcibly raped.”

Thus, one Hmong mother’s response to her 12-year-old daughter being gang-raped by at least 10 men (also Hmong, of course) was not to call the police. To the contrary, when the girl limped home after an especially brutal episode, her mother said to her: “You’re just a little slut.”

As thousands of white and Sikh girls in Britain have discovered in the most horrific possible way, police, social workers and politicians aren’t much better. When it came to choosing between admitting that Multiculturalism and mass immigration had some downsides, or letting gangs of Pakistani Muslim men systematically rape thousands of girls in an almost industrial operation, well… “Diversity is our strength”.

Punk rock philosopher. Liberalist contrarian. Grumpy old bastard. I grew up in a generational-Labor-voting family. I kept the faith long after the political left had abandoned it. In the last decade...
