“ In opposing the right ’ s racism , we must be able to countenance that a group of refugees could be responsible for the assaults and that these individuals should not be defended . We engage in our own subtle racism if , in defending the rights of refugees in general , we collapse them all into a homogeneous category , because all racism is predicated on treated an entire group of people as an undifferentiated mass . The key is to take these assaults seriously on their own terms and as part of a generalized scourge of sexual harassment and assault , which is not fought by picking out specific ethnic groups . What ’ s more , we should be suspicious of any people so keen to point out the links between Islamic culture and misogyny if they are not equally concerned with the prevailing violent misogynies in the cultural West . [...] It is , prima facie , preferable to educate in an effort toward integration , as opposed to scapegoating and rejecting . It would be far better still if these anti-rape , respect for women classes were standardized across Europe , offered not just to new and feared brown-skinned arrivals . Men everywhere are in desperate need of such lessons .”
