The history of Tower Hamlets council does not inspire confidence, but this is not the moment for a rush to judgment. Black children tend to be overrepresented in the care system, and more carers are white. However, in minority majority areas, like Tower Hamlets, where only 31% of the population is white, the position may be reversed. They were told that only white children were in need, so they could not put their names down as potential adopters. But even if they are proved, a lack of sympathy or cultural sensitivity are not exclusive to any one religion or ethnicity.
