Feeling isolated in a 'multicultural' area

Focus on your studies, live with it and stop complaining.

Where are you living, Stamford Hill?

You live in zone 1 yet you say there are very few British people? Sounds like BS; I'd understand that many foreign students are in London but to go so far as to saying there are very few British in zone 1?

Where exactly do you live?

How do you think us indigenous white Londoners feel?

Welcome to progressive multiculturalism x mass immigration, we hope you enjoy your stay in our most diverse, and divided, capital city

Remember, true multiculturalism from the point of view of the left is when English and British culture is non-existent. The left call my local area multi-cultural yet there is a no white English people present, English is not the first language and there is a dominate religion (take a guess). Apparently you have to embrace it even though it feels like a third world dump site

I think it's sad that British people can't have a sense of pride and patriotism without being accused of racism. For example myself, being half I'm encouraged by wider society to embrace my other side but if I were to embrace and be proud of my white British side as well that would be 'wrong', despite being brought up by my British family. It really makes me wonder how actual British people cope.

The whole point of flagging the race card whenever someone does take pride in and defend British culture and values is to silence people into accepting multiculturalism and changing the landscape... For cheaper labour and more votes... Call me a conspiracy theorist or a crazy but it's also to do with accepting world banks and government, NATO, EU etc. Patriotism needs to be eradicated before they can win, and they will win at any rate.

I know this is going to be provocative, but I'm really struggling here. Before you accuse me of racism I'm not white. Of course, I know all too well other races can be racist as well. But hear me out...

I moved to London a little over a year ago to study. I live in an area where there are very few British people and I can go days before hearing someone who speaks English as a first language, and there are some who do not speak English at all. Most of them stick to themselves and only show respect, acknowledgement and consideration for each other. Being friendly gets me nowhere here.

Now I don't have anything against diversity, I myself am of multi-ethnic background and was brought up 'British'. What I do see as a problem is most of this is segregated with a clash of morals and ethics, and a lack of respect. I just feel like an alien here and like I'm living in a foreign country except there is no language I can learn or culture I can embrace to communicate and integrate and everyone is part of their own little club except from me.

I really want to go home, but I can't at least until my studies are done.

Does anyone else ever feel this way?

Well, I'm half indigenous if it counts for anything, and grew up with a very excepting white family in a nice cosy village in Lancashire. And I'm very much a 'Northern Lass' so perhaps it's the South as well that is difficult for me. I was talking about multiculturalism not multi-ethnic, skin colour isn't what it's about and there's plenty of white non-British people here too... I meet more Eastern Europeans than British people here for example. But yes I do wonder how it feels for someone with 2 indigenous parents when even I, with my light brown skin, feel like an alien and a lost foreigner.
