Not a Racist Rant!!

[craptakular]

I went a run with them into Southall for some stuff they were getting for a wedding, the demographic is something like <10% white.

Could you keep up?

So True

Surely if they want to be surrounded by their "own" so to speak, they should stay in their country of origin ?

Not as simple as that. Many who people who emigrate from their nations do so for a better quality of life, which their home country cannot offer. It's why my grandparents came over in the 1950's. India was struggling economically and there was a poor quality of life. They, like many, came to the UK or went to the USA/Canada for a better/more economic lifestyle.

Most have hit on the head, that new immigrants will gravitate towards those who share the same culture where they can ease themselves into their new country without severing all ties to their old one.

Has anyone on here considered going back to their native land? Giving how rubbish our economy is now.

Just curious.

The reason certain enthicitis group to togther in certain aread is simple, people want to live near their friends and family. Ilford is a wonderfull place, i lived in manor park up until about 10 years ago, when my folks moved away. Food there is second to none.

If we take ilford (Newham) as an example if you white then you are officially a ethnic minority there.

To be fair, Britain's economy is still one of the biggest in the world.

Yup, people who move to Britain will just move to the same area where family live or people of the same culture/nationality.

Yes they all tend to congregate in the same area.

To be fair, Britain's economy is still one of the biggest in the world.

Even France has overtaken us. :'(

The warehouse for the company I work for employed a lot of Poles. I would say the workforce in the warehouse (of about 150-200 staff) was about 30% Polish.

Since the downturn a lot have left and having spoken to one of the team managers in the warehouse pretty much all of them said it was because they were returning home.

Of course I have no official stats on this thats just a personal expereince.

[truncated]

I believe you're describing White flight.

Ilford is in Redbridge so those number will be different for here.

Or, to put it another way: there are more non-whites than whites in Ilford, but the white British population is by far the largest of all the ethnic groups in Ilford.

Not really a minority though, are you? You're a... majority minority. WTF is the term.

Damnit.

You need to form a coalition.

 

[Red Porsche]

and found that it's all Asian or black living there

You are right you are not a racist, you are a biggot.

 

[Wee Michelle]

where can you get statistics on cities and towns like that?

 

[platinum87]

To the OP: Go and read some human geography journals, i would give you links but my athens has expired.

The best answer to the OP so far gets an F (GCSE standard), which is pretty poor

 

[Ricochet J]

If we take ilford (Newham) as an example

Ilford is not in Newham. Little Ilford (part of Manor Park) is in Newham.
