How multicultural is the town you live in?
 
So I live in Harrogate which is a very white town.

I've had very little black people at the schools I went to (I dont think there was one at my primary school D: ) and even fewer asian people.

Poll coming up

Marc 03-12-2012 10:17 PM
I saw a black guy the other day

Me. I Am Salman 03-12-2012 10:18 PM
It's mixed. In the college I got to though it's 70% black.

Doogle 03-12-2012 10:19 PM
When I lived in London it was 50/50 in my area (South West) but here in Dover it's about 4% white 1% black and 95% Slovakian

Marsh. 03-12-2012 10:19 PM
I'd say it's majority white but black people aren't rare at all.

There's a couple of families around the corner from me who always wear Sari's so I'm *guessing* they're Indian, but have no idea. :laugh:

King Gizzard 03-12-2012 10:19 PM
I'd say probably 80% white, use to be mostly white but last few years there's more of a mix, when I was at school it was about 99% white

That doesn't sound right saying it like that, feels weird Lol

Redway 03-12-2012 10:22 PM
Do you live in St Helens, Marsh?

Firewire 03-12-2012 10:23 PM
Very white town. There are minimal ethnic minorities in my school. Pupils are 100% white. There's one black teacher.

I'd like to say "around about" but technically yes. :hugesmile:

Kind of on the fringe between that and Wigan.

Niall 03-12-2012 10:25 PM
A fair few ethnic people live where I live. I wouldn't say as many as half and half but there are a lot.

It's really weird because at my sixth form there are two main parts to our common room and it's sort of naturally segregated itself. All the white people hang out in one room, and all the blacks and asians hang out in the other. It wasn't intentional, it just sort of happened. It's so odd. o_o

Princess 03-12-2012 10:25 PM
I say about 95% white in my town, Ireland in general is really white though.

Must be the ginger hair.

Ninastar 03-12-2012 10:27 PM
There's on black kid at work, and the kids had never seen one before.

One of the kids even said 'what's that!?" to him

it's weird to think that they've never seen a black child before

Ah right. Yeah, St. Helens does have quite a few black people there, same with Wigan. Haven't seen too many minorities outside it though (Ormskirk, Skelmersdale).

Yeah, it's noticeable in primary schools in this area which have developed a larger ethnic variation of pupils.

Sorry but :laugh2:.

Kids can be funny.

Redway 03-12-2012 10:32 PM
Having said all that about where I live, though, there's almost some sort of ethnic segregation and the minority groups tend to be found in one area. But of course they attend schools all over the city so it's not too segregated or anything.

InOne 03-12-2012 10:33 PM
Lots of Pakistanis and Polish. Also loads from various other Eastern European countries.
