Because its diverse, you think its not racist? LOL!
Have you seen how those so called multi communities are segragated around here? Everyone stays in their area. I know for a fact its not like that in most of the US. They encourage integration a lot more. There are of course cases where its not, but whats more important, is people take an active role in trying to remedy that! They have made more progress when it comes to race, than any modern country in the past 10 20 years. ITs not happenning here from my observations. And Ive seen both sides. Ive lived both sides, and I dont go with one element in the press like Hurricane Katrina. I go with what Ive seen!

Anyways, this debate is never ending, because people dont want to hear it, so I will just leave it at that, and hope some actually learn something from it.

No, there is nothing to hear! Where exactly do you live in London? As most of the London I know is very mixed & multi-cultural. Down here in Portsmouth is the same, yes there is racism, but there is racism everywhere, just the same as there are homophobic people everywhere (as a gay man I live with predjudice as well)... If Mario had been voted out I could scream that the UK public are all homophobic, but I wouldn't as that is codswallop... By the way I loathe Mario, but would you keep in all the black housemates simply because they were black? Or does someones personality & behaviour have any bearing to you??
