Default 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 ) and even fewer asian people.

Poll coming up

It's mixed. In the college I got to though it's 70% black.

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

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.

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

Very white town. There are minimal ethnic minorities in my school. Pupils are 100% white. There's one black teacher.

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

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.

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.
