Who cares wether a region is pretty much homogeneoulsly white? Surely that can be a good thing? There are very few people not of white, British origin in my village, and were're all quite happy; in my sixth-form there isn't a single person who isn't white. People act as if that is some signal of backwardness or cultural ******edness, but that's the way the place has been for decades, centuries, even. I, for the record think that multiculturalism, or, to a lesser extent, multi-ethnic areas aren't always such a good thing. If an area is multicultural, then the host country's culture is not as prominent as it would be if it was mono-cultural, and that, I think is a form of cultural vandalism.

My god, I didn't expect my area to be in the top 100! About 90% white apparently, which is a bit odd, given the semi-ruralness of the place... Having said that though, the school's quite diverse, so I might've guessed. But still, I expected the cities to shove us much lower. *shrug* You live and learn, I suppose.

In the whole of my Year 13 (about 250 people), there are around 11 of us who aren't white. But I'm so used to it, I get a bit freaked out when I go to big cities and there are loads of people of varying ethnicities everywhere! I'm so used to being the only brown one in the room.

I beat you!

I'm one of 14 white people in my year.

:cool:

5th most diverse area! Woo!

To be honest...within certain parts of Harrow I'm sure there are incredibly few white people. In my little Close there are 6 houses...all of which are owned by Indians. Funny thing is when we moved in 14 years ago, there were 2 other Indian families but that was it. Now we've taken over!

We're taking over the world!

Majority are white. I remember my school was almost 98% white..and then suddenly they started bringing lots of asians in because Oftsed had complained about the lack of ethical diversity :p:
