During the same time period, blacks were raping whites at a clip of several thousand per year—and raping black women at a rate of many multiple thousand per year, according to Department of Justice victimization surveys. (Victimization surveys are obviously the most accurate measure of who is committing crimes because someone who has just been the victim of a crime is not going to lie about the race of his assailant for the good of the race.)
3.According to the New York Times the two nations that send the most tourists on Thai sex tours are Japan—and Germany. We’ve seen evidence of what Alexis de Tocqueville called the French’s “contempt of women,” not only with the Gallic hilarity over Americans’ minding that a U.S. president was using female underlings for oral sex, but more recently, when Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of the International Monetary Fund, was accused of raping a hotel maid in New York City. That rape charge turned out to be another immigrant scam—at least in the sense that the sex was consensual. Still, when the story first broke, Natalie Nougayrede, diplomatic correspondent for France’s Le Monde newspaper, pointed out that it took a day and a half for the media in France to say, “Well, maybe we should be expressing some concern and, you know, empathy for this woman and not just be scandalized about how he was dealt with by the American police.”
