Keep It Real wrote:Seems to me Muslims, blacks, orientals, poles, Asians etc. tend to group together in the uk and do not integrate into white british society. I remember once going to a warehouse on the outskirts of gloucester with a mixed race girl I'd met in town. When we arrived I realised I was the only white person there out of a crowd of some 200. They were all black. Where were the white faces, or the faces of any other ethnicity other than black, or more to the point, why weren't these black faces distributed proportionally amongst the white majority? Incidentally, once the venue closed and I was leaving, somebody cracked me over the head with a bottle so I walked home covered in blood. Nice.

I think we usually don't integrate well either, like in the "british" parts of sunny spain. We probably integrate better in the usa and australia, sharing race, language, religion and culture with the majority.

White British (4%) were least likely to be in inter-ethnic relationships, followed by Bangladeshi (7%), Pakistani (9%) and Indian (12%) ethnic groups.

Crunching thousands of numbers from 41,666 people interviewed in nine languages, the just-published study found skin colour – not religion, not income – was the biggest barrier to immigrants feeling they belonged here. And the darker the skin, the greater the alienation.
"We were surprised that religion didn't have more effect," said lead author Jeffrey Reitz. "It came down to race, with Asian people reporting some and with young black males the most stigmatized. The data is consistent with that.
"We tend to believe racism is a minor problem in Canada, of little consequence. Someone looked at them funny. Or that many immigrants are doing well, so it must be their fault if they aren't. There is a reluctance to investigate the issue."

All the black youths in the warehouse I spoke to spoke perfect english, with no accent. They were overwhelmingly born and raised in England. The warehouse incident isn't my only experience of English white/black segregation. There are several "black" pubs in bristol and gloucester I'm aware of too, frequented almost exclusively by black, english people. Black people like going there; other ethnicities don't. Most pubs are white pubs; where the opposite is true.

Any time someone starts off their discussion by saying "I'm not a racist but ...", I start off by assuming that they're a racist. It isn't 100% foolproof - but it seems to be highly effective, and saves me a whole lot of time listening to racist bullshit from racists.

I make no claim that this rule applies to the OP himself - but, as others have noted, there is evident racism in the OP content.
