A teenage rape victim was told "that is what white girls are for" when she was abused, Sheffield Crown Court has heard.
Three men are on trial accused of raping the girl, who was around 14 years old at the time of the alleged offences between 1999 and 2002 in Rotherham.
Sageer Hussain, 39, Kessur Ajaib, 43, and Mohammed Makhmood, 43, all deny the charges against them.
Prosecutor Andrew Bailey told the jury the complainant, now in her late 30s, was an "immature and vulnerable young girl" when she began spending time at a youth club in the town.
The court heard that young Asian men at the club, some her age but others older, would offer girls drinks and cigarettes

The court heard that young Asian men at the club, some her age but others older, would offer girls drinks and cigarettes.
The prosecutor said the girl met Ajaib at the youth club, where he began sexually assaulting her after hearing she had engaged in consensual sex with a boy her own age.
Bailey told the court that Ajaib, then around 18, saw this as a "green light" and told her "now she needed to come to try somebody real".
The defendant also allegedly raped her in an alleyway.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Makhmood, who was about 18 or 19 at the time, is accused of raping the same girl in an old graveyard in Rotherham whilst she fought against him.
The court heard that Hussain later told the alleged victim she "shouldn't have walked around in what I was dressed in", "deserved it" and "that is what white girls were for."
Hussain is also accused of raping a second teenager in Rotherham town centre.
The prosecutor said the second alleged victim described crying throughout the ordeal, whilst two others were present.
When interviewed by police, Makhmood claimed it was a case of "mistaken identity" and that officers had "got the wrong man".
Hussain told police the "allegations were vindictive", whilst Ajaib made no comment during questioning.
The trial is scheduled to resume tomorrow.
