I’ve seen videos on this before, I’m wondering how you feel about it.

Some area of the UK are racist towards whites. If you live in an area where White people are in the minority you see a lot of hostility and some definite no-go areas

I’m white. I’ve been to a lot of places many times where white faces are in the minority. Never been abused, attacked or even had someone look at me in an odd way and I was virtually the only white face there.
These are fairly deprived areas by the way.

I will admit at first it feels unusual being the only white person there but that rapidly passes. Definitely don’t by the “no go areas” thing at all.

Growing up in London during 70’s and 80’s I think it less racist, but I think that depends on where. Having lived abroad for nearly twenty years DH was shocked at the racism where we live now, South West. He’d never really noticed his parent’s racism before then.

Well I have personally experienced it Therewillbe. And just in case you missed it, I already said in an earlier post that I have also witnessed racism in the opposite direction. I strongly suspect there is much more of that, but just getting annoyed that people keep saying there is none.
