I didn't mention the Country and it's problems. I mentioned some of the people coming over and causing the problems. Not what is going on over there.

I was tempted to go to NewVic college in Newham but it's an absolute ****hole (the college) so I didn't :joker:

I know NewVIc, in Prince Regent's lane... They spent so much money on it and, like you say, it's a ****hole. I worked at Newham College for a while after uni, in East Ham and Stratford.

I live in Astley, just outside Leigh and we have mainly eastern European ethnic minorities. I'm from Salford though and now there is a pretty diverse cultur there.

I grew up in an Oxfordshire village called Burford, which was distinctly white. I now live in a village on the Birmingham/Worcestershire border, called Barnt Green. Birmingham is a completely multicultural City, but Barnt Green is fairly white - apart from Jamelia.

Oh, it's also where Ron Atkinson lives, too. So that should tell you all you need to know about the diversity around these 'ere parts.

I voted half and half, though its not quite that. Whites are still in the majority, but we have a lot of different races here.

My birthplace is as white as the North Pole but where I live now is very mixed.

Half and half

all you need to know is, we all bleed red!

Well said

Post of the thread.

Yep

Like 95% white

We once had an EDL rally once :amazed:

Barring that i'd say my area is fairly multi cultural, the small town I live in isn't that varied but the bigger towns are.

There are not many coloured here,but there are a few with corner shops and discount stores,mainly of Indian origin,not many Pakistanis also some Chinese.that's about it.

If You never go to the community college that I go to in my town. You'd think that the whole town was white.

I live in the suburbs of Detroit, so mostly white, but we have a nice mix going.

I don't think people use the term "coloured people" anymore. I know you didn't mean anything by it, but I thought you should know.

This is how "multicultuaral" we are...

My school has now started to do seperate lessons/worksheets etc in Portuguese and Polish.

I wonder if that's how all people right out in the sticks refer to them as. Not heard that term in years either and sounds really American.

I hear that term quite a bit where I live. Mostly from people who've never met a black person.

No criticism of Kazanne, like JHC I'm sure she meant nothing by it.

The student population here is quite heavily Chinese - but the general public, I'd say, is about 80% white.

lol we've had some EDL graffiti spring up on the walls around here last couple of weeks, was nice to see on one of them somebody had written "are *****s" underneath it

Have the displeasure of living right near a Mosque so i see more Asian people then anything else these days

Poor you.

Maybe they could move the Mosque?

My city is Portsmouth and I would say it is quite culturally diverse. My college is especially diverse - particularly as we have many English as a second language classes (ESOL) and we endorse the many cultures of the world.

Very good idea, then they wouldn't block the road everyday

:rolleyes: Mosques. What are they like?

They can be pretty annoying when you hear the call to prayer at all hours. I used to live near one too and it drives you up the wall.

It's so annoying when you hear the trumpet being blown (or whatever it is) every few minutes lol.

:o

What?

I've always used that term, I didn't realise it was offensive though as I just thought it was better than saying black, asian, or ethnic all the time.

As the saying goes "you learn something new everyday".:hugesmile:
