Is Hull racist?

Nah Hull isnt racist, you may get a few odd looks here and there but no racial abuse, youd be fine.

That's really quite annoying, like freak show annoying. I don't have any opinion of Hull (one of my exes from London lived there) but I'd rather not go to a place where I should EXPECT to get odd looks.

Reminds me of going back to my good old birthtown of Welwyn Garden City. Yes I shame them. Having an afro is not some spectacle *rolls eyes*. Get out more inbreds.

But the "odd looks" are just part of life isnt it, I accept it and move on. If people look at me funny, I do the same back to them....simples.

Some places more than others.

It's not somewhere I would choose to live if the expectation is that the locals are a load of sheltered idiots who treat me like some kind of alien. Sure if I HAVE to go somewhere like that to get something and have the choice to pass through. But to live? No thanks. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.

I have no idea about Hull though. I'm just talking about my fairly rural hometown. Thanks Mum!

Well, I just had a look at the demographics and 97.7% of the people in Hull are white.

So, it might be a possibility.

Not sure why this got negged. I'm from very near Hull and it is honestly as non-diverse as that suggests. There are very, very few people of an ethnic minority. You're not going to get beaten up JUST because you're non-white, but equally, you are realistically going to stand out to an extent if you're not white.

It may well be different at Hull Uni; being a university, it's likely to be substantially more ethnically diverse than the rest of the city. And equally, you know, we do have police (not that you ever see them ) and I'm yet to hear of anyone being attacked for purely race-related reasons as a student or on a night out. But if you decided to get a bus onto one of the nastier estates (which you wouldn't do as a student) then you honestly may not be that safe; you'd at least get comments, I would imagine.

I mean, this isn't going to bother you as a student unless you decide to amble down to North Point to do your shopping or something. And the university itself obviously has anti-discrimination legislation and a diverse student body. But Hull is a trifle run-down in places as a city.

I live just over the river from Hull. And I wouldn't ever go to uni to Hull, the place is f-in terrible. I know that the student life is apparently quite good though. A lot of Hull isnt too racist, but I would definitely say its more racist than other cities.

Wait! Are you saying WGC is rural? It's big, not huge but decently sized, defo not rural haha

It's a small town and everyone within it behaves like they're in a village.

Real small town vibe about it. Everyone knows each other's business and people get too excited about things that shouldnt even warrant an eyebrow raise.
For somewhere that's supposed to be fairly affluent, I have never seen such a population so badly dressed. You have the orange, bleached youth on one hand and the middle-aged John Lewis brigade in their greys, browns and beige.

Hardly anyone moves out of WGC and their "nightclub" is this godforesaken dive room over a pub. My mum's back garden is sherrardswood forest/wood - that is pretty damn countrified to me.

I ****ing hate welwyn garden city. The only nice thing I have to say about my hometown is that it's nice to have a picnic at high summer, but even then I wouldnt want to stay for more than a few hours.
