84 schools have NO white British pupils at all... double the number of five years ago

"In terms of the wider implications of this evidence, we echo Sturgis, Heath, Lawrence, and others in arguing that the question should better be phrased as 'deprivation', not 'diversity' and that policy attention ought to be devoted to reducing deprivation" (Twigg and Taylor, 2010).

"This research shows that ethnic diversity in an area is generally a positive driver of community cohesion. When compared with areas where more than 99 per cent of the population is White British, ethnically diverse areas are generally more cohesive.

Most significantly, this study demonstrates that, far from eroding community cohesion, ethnic diversity is generally a strong positive driver of cohesion. In particular, areas with both high levels of disadvantage and high ethnic diversity record higher average cohesion scores than highly disadvantaged, homogeneous White areas. It is thus deprivation that undermines cohesion, not diversity.

The gradient of the effect of disadvantage on cohesion is similar across all areas, irrespective of ethnic diversity. In other words, irrespective of the ethnic mix of the area, as disadvantage increases, its negative effect gets stronger. Furthermore, there are no significant interaction effects between area diversity and disadvantage. Therefore, regardless of the diversity level, disadvantage operates in a similar fashion for all communities. It is just that at similar levels of disadvantage, more diverse communities tend to have higher cohesion than predominately White British communities" (Laurence and Heath, 2008).

"This present research has not found evidence to support the thesis about the breakdown of social connectedness and social life in the diverse communities in Britain. It did find, however, that community cohesion and neighbourliness cannot be created in the context of economic inequality and deprivation" (Letki, 2007).

"Moreover, results show a consistently strong association between a decrease in area deprivation and an increase in social cohesion for all ethnic groups, both for the social cohesion scale, as well as for its individual components, suggesting that any erosion of social cohesion is the result of deprivation, not of neighbourhood ethnic profile.

This leads onto our last aim, which sought to determine the independent contribution of each neighbourhood characteristic, including composition, concentration and deprivation, to social cohesion. As the previous discussion points out, our findings show that it is not neighbourhood ethnic profile, but neighbourhood deprivation, which erodes social cohesion for ethnic minority and White British people in the UK.

[...]

Regardless, by exploring how the association between neighbourhood ethnic profile and social cohesion changes once area deprivation is adjusted for, and by assessing the contribution of area-level socioeconomic characteristics to social cohesion among different ethnic groups, the present study argues that increased residential heterogeneity does not erode social cohesion in the UK.

[...]

Our analyses show that, even in a cross-sectional scenario, the statement that residential heterogeneity erodes social cohesion does not hold, but that instead it is deprivation which has a stronger, detrimental effect" (Bécares, 2011).

The analysis shows that social class, ethnic identity and participation in religious observance were not associated with greater or less likelihood of young people following offending or drug-use pathways, once other factors were taken into account (Hales et al., 2009).

At what point do we have to start drawing politically incorrect conclusions?

I'm sure a multi-kulti society where everyone's nice and rich could work in theory, but we're not going to get that are we.
