White Britons 'In Retreat' From Minority Areas

Of course, this will be interpreted as white people being racist and not the fact that minorities make every area they spawn in absolute ****holes.

Why should we be alarmed? People tend to immigrate where there family or friends live. Eventually the minority become the majority in that area. People segregate themselves from different cultures, it's just human nature.

Why is this even in the news, or even a problem ?

Generally people support immigration because they think it will create a mixed culture rather than various segregated national groupings that are best ambivalent toward one another.

What's wrong with a good old-fashioned ghetto? Having lived in Whitechapel I know what it means. It can work.

I think it's more to do with money and wealth than anything else. As people living in poor inner city areas become more wealthy, they move out to wealthier suburbs and towns, and are replaced by new immigrants because they are a)poor and b)want to live somewhere where people from the country they came from have already settled.

I'm sure there are some people who don't want to live in an area because they, for whatever reason, don't feel comfortable living somewhere where a significant percentage of the population is from a different ethnic background to themselves. But I think the majority of this kind of movement can be explained by social mobility and the desire to live in a more wealthy environment.

Well I've seen the opposite happen in Hackney. Some new buildings were made, Dalston became more central in terms of transport since the Olympics happened, and more white people started living there. I think they're mainly young couples. Before that happened, I only saw black and Asian people in the area,

Actually alot of the people moving out of inner London can no longer afford to live there, or to raise children there. Rental costs, property costs and service costs are all higher in inner London than they are in suburbs beyond this.

Alot of new immigrants are often very able to live in areas where the houses are more expansive but deliberately choose not to because their priorities are different from the indigenous population - for example, I will be immigrating to London in late June/early July and I will deliberately live in as cheap an area as possible so I can save as much money as is feasible - I could live in an area with more space further away from the centre but I would save far less money. However, an indigenous person may not be so concerned about his/her savings rate, particularly if the state is willing to extend welfare to him/her or pay his/her rental/mortgage payments in the event of him/her losing his/her primary income.
