I am not white and have experienced racism so I know how awful it is first hand. I have lived in London and Birmingham in very diverse areas. I now live in a very white area and it’s fine. I do understand how some posters who are not white may fret about moving to an area where they stand out so ask about areas.
However I really hate the very obvious virtue signalling that goes on when talking about ethnically diverse areas where people, are trying to prove just how totally amazing they are. I have met a few people in my life who I think would like an ethnic mate about as it’s a tick on their leftie credentials list.
Brilliant post.
Regarding your first paragraph; we have 4 Indian families in our village, two of them are mixed (one white partner, and one Indian.) We also have 3 black families, and 2 mixed-race families. I have seen/spoken to all of them at some point, at the pub or Church, or a get together at the Parish hall.
Nearly ALL of them have said at some point that they LOVE it here, and have never had any hatred, racism, or hostility, since they've been here. They have just had smiles and hellos and warmth.
They did say however, that they have experienced plenty of racism and sneers and hostility in towns and suburbs, and even in the cities. Some people automatically assume that 'rural British village' = racists, and it's such bullshit.
Indeed, as has been said, many of the 'right-on' PC lefties who live in towns and cities, are more likely to sneer at non-white communities behind their back(s.) Even though they love to shout about how PC and 'woke' they are.
And, as has been said, these people love the diverse restaurants, and shops, and markets etc, but would clutch their pearls at the thought of living next to the people who run these shops and stalls.
Regarding your second paragraph, I also get soooo bored and pissed off with this liberal-leftie bollocks of people who live in a city, and think they're so PC and 'right-on' if they have several mates who are not white, and sneer at their more suburban and rural mates/colleagues who live in a predominantly white area and know hardly any non-white people.
My DD, and my niece, and a few of their mates, (in their 20s,) know a few leftie, PC, 'woke' people, who put up loads of BLM stuff up on twitter and instagram, and #blm #brexitersarescum and similar shit in their profile blurb.
My niece (22,) recently put something up on twitter (won't say what as it's potentially identifying,) but it was something about a certain 'cult tv' thing, and she had a picture of her posted on there.
She had 3000 'likes,' and 500 retweets, and around 150 replies/posts. Around a quarter of the responses were from black, Asian, and mixed race fans (from all over the world, but mainly from America, Canada, and the UK,) who were praising her and saying she looked great.
Her WHITE, privileged, lower-middle-class friend who has #blm and #taketheknee and #brexitscum and #toryscum on her profile blurb, was incensed. Why? .... She said 'how come you have got so much support from people of colour? I am the one who supports them so much!' with a kind of
look.
She was actually OFFENDED that my niece had got lots of non-white people making positive comments to this young white woman in her cosplay! It took me 10 minutes to stop laughing when my niece told me! What a 'woke' wanker!
