Yes, but we could at least create an environment in which they do not feel persecuted. Because we've seen what happens when we don't . A man can only take reading so many bigoted Daily Mail headlines before he's inclined to lash out at someone - and if that someone happens to be an underage girl and lashing out involves sticking his ***** in them and calling them "white trash" then I for one feel that the onus is on us to do something about it.
