"Institutionalized Political Correctness"

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people 
all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

Here in Germany the investigations into institutionalized political 
correctness just started. Until the end of last year the criminality of 
refugees could not be counted as such in the statistic. In general, the 
ethnicity of perpetrators  (and victims) can be marked, but mostly 
isn't. This is done to "keep civil peace," as a high rank police officer 
from the LKA in Hannover said. In this context, words like "honor 
murder" disappear from the reports. Or, terms are used that enable the 
cops to identify the relevant ethnic group without having to make the 
statistic more worrying. Like, for example, "persons with frequently 
changing places of living" instead of "Gypsies." Another way to avoid 
bad news seems to be that rape and mayhem are often downgraded to mere 
assault. So, it just happened again a couple of days ago, the crime 
statistic presented shows no indication that people with a migration 
background are more criminal, or, in their criminality, more violent 
than ethnic Germans. Nothing to worry about?!
