Just yesterday we discussed the cases where teenagers would end up branded as sex offenders and on Megan's list (or whatever the name) for just minor infractions - a girl puts her own topless photos on facebook and gets branded forever for peddling child porn; a guy takes a girl to dinner with their common friends, and someone's parents report them and he ends up branded as an offender. Whereas the Duke guys got off.

Then I don't understand your comments. A guy takes his girl to dinner with friends and gets branded - not an anglo saxon? A girl puts topless photos on facebook and is branded - not an anglo saxon? I missed the stories, so if eveybody branded as a sex offender is not anglo saxon and the Duke guys got off, then ok, I take your point.
