Recently in the media there has been a lot of backlash about the film Precious giving the black community an unsavoury image.Monique, who plays the tyrannical yet pitiful mother in the film rightfully claimed that the situations portrayed in this were devoid of colour. This is evident in a recently appalling case where a white father from sheffield raped his two daughters over a 1000 times, which resulted in them becoming pregnant 18 times over the space of 30 years. He is quickly being dubbed the British Fritz closely resembling Josef Fritzl,an Austrian father who kept his daughter in a basement and raped her regularly, he too also happened to be white.Instead of wasting time stigmatising a particular race we need to realise that incestuous rape is a serious issue in our society. Precious raised that awareness which was a good thing.
