Robert Jenrick - I didn't see a white face

Haven't seen another thread on this topic but apologies if I've missed it.

Aibu to think that if that he thinks Handsworth is a poor example of integration and he can't see any white faces, then that's down to the white people moving out once other communities moved in? So who isn't integrating, the people who move in or the people who choose to move out?

I'm honestly fed up of emboldened politicians picking on easy targets. It seems to be British Asians that are the "whipping boys/girls". It's fashionable to bash South Asian cultures, traditions and practices, and literally no one gives a shit or stands up against it. No one can deny that anti-Semitism exists and it's a real threat, but the one thing that most non-orthodox or non Hasidic Jews won't have to experience is someone like Robert Jenrick driving down their street and knowing by looking at them that they are "different". South Asian people can integrate until they're blue in the face and it doesn't matter - they will always be a brown face in the eyes of many people

He wasn't trying to male any sort of meaningful point about integration. He just wanted to make a racist comment to look good for potential reform voters. He has form for being a twat though. Remember when he wanted to paint over the mural at the refugee centre for children?

Agree. I don't think he's ever made a meaningful point about anything. Definitely a twat.
