I think it's technically correct continentally but it's gotten to the point that "Asian [grooming gangs]" is just synonymous for Pakistani/Muslim groups across English. The largest cities, London, Manchester, then Birmingham, have significant issues with diversity related conflict and it's a fairly widespread matter even outside the larger areas such as those three.
England has 9 regions. Going by population and including noteworthy locations they are:
The South East. Milton Keyes, Oxford.
London. London, obviously.
The North West. Manchester.
East of England. Norwich, Cambridge.
The West Midlands. Birmingham.
The South West. Bristol.
Yorkshire and Humber. Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford, Rotherham, York,
The East Midlands. Leicester, Nottingham.
The North East. Newcastle.
Several of those names should stand out [and not just because I emboldened them] as having history with such groups. History where the ink isn't even dry on the paper yet.
On top of all this during various investigations into those groups the victims were either blamed for what happened to them or threatened with accusations of racism if they spoke out about it.
It's not surprising why the MET and police in general in England has such a low approval rating these days.
