The architect of the bombshell grooming gangs review has condemned 'do-gooders' who ignored ethnic factors for fear of being branded racist.
Baroness Casey vented fury at the failure to tackle the issues over a decade, saying she was 'raging' on behalf of the victims.
Speaking following the publication of her report, the Whitehall troubleshooter revealed she had found the word 'Pakistani' Tippexed out of a child sex abuse file.
But Lady Casey said turning a blind eye to many offenders having Asian heritage only gave racists 'more ammunition'.
The long-awaited review was published yesterday, finding that councils, police forces and the Home Office repeatedly 'shied away' from dealing with 'uncomfortable' questions about the ethnicity of rapists preying on thousands of vulnerable girls.
