Excerpt:
A fear of being called racist is preventing authorities investigating the reasons behind child abuse cases, an MP has claimed.
Rotherham MP Sarah Champion was speaking after 17 men were convicted of forcing girls in Newcastle to have sex.
Mostly British-born, they are from Iraqi, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Iranian and Turkish communities.
Ms Champion said asking if there were "cultural issues" was simply "child protection".
Northumbria Police said society "can't be afraid to have this discussion".
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Ms Champion, Labour's shadow women and equalities minister, said gang-related child sexual exploitation involves "predominately Pakistani men" who were involved in such cases "time and time and time again".
