    Yep. Tbh you'd think we would pass racism by now but apparently not

    Where I live 95.7% of the population are white. Ridiculous. It's seen as quite a middle class area (although I'm not)

    98.5% of my town are white. Think we are just so tiny and people don’t really come here out of all places. Though we get loads of different people here as it’s very touristy. It’s crazy how not diverse it is here, funny thing is my two best friends aren’t white aha

    That's a very high percentage. We get lots of tourists here too from all over the world but yeah surprising how not diverse it actually is
  • Former MemberFormer Member ☕🌻☕ Posts: 12,938 Born on Earth, Raised by The Mix
    92% where I am
  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,756 Skive's The Limit
    How do you know the percentage?

    Yeah it is @EGM aha, my county has a very high percentage aswell 97% I believe might be wrong though, I guess we aren’t a lot of people’s chosen destination to live just for holidays aha but since there isn’t much exposure there’s pretty bad racism in my school. Something people didn’t start realising until we started getting students that aren’t white. Think we have 2 kids that are black in my school and a few others that aren’t white.

    Google @Shaunie There are some random websites
  • SienaSiena Posts: 15,756 Skive's The Limit
    Oh yeahThose aren’t probably true. Your percentage Would be allot lower.  just googled it mine is 82.5%.  It says London is 44.9%which sounds more likely probably because they are more likely to do recent ones of London

    I love going to bigger cities like London and Manchester and seeing all the diversity it fills my heart with joy to see so many different people!!

    I go to a grammar school but there's quite a few Asian people and some black so we have a little exposure. The students are quite proactive in ensuring everyone is included and not discriminated. We sent a letter with hundreds of signatures to the school asking for a more diverse curriculum and stuff, which was pretty cool. The headteacher responded so we should start to see some proper change

    My school was mostly Asian. I was the only white one in my PE class. The rest was all Muslim. I did feel a bit awkward to start with ngl as was so obvious. But now still speak to two of them

    The closest city to me is 89.7% white which is more diverse than here though it’s still higher than the average.

    One of my best friends is Chinese and the other is half Brazilian. Throughout all of primary school my friend that’s Chinese and her two younger sisters and brother where the only non white people in the school pretty much I think there were maybe 2/3 other kids other than them

    I used to want to live in London. But to expensive. Then I thought maybe Cambridge because it would motivate me to cycle everywhere. Then I thought Birmingham  as I love the shops there. Now i don’t know lol

    I think I'm going to avoid London as a place to live because it's just so busy and expensive. I much prefer countryside like mountains and lakes
  • Former MemberFormer Member ☕🌻☕ Posts: 12,938 Born on Earth, Raised by The Mix
    I worked in a school in Devon where 92% of the children, English was not their first language
  • StarlightStarlight Posts: 1,457 Wise Owl
    Yeah @EGM if I didn’t want to go into musical theatre and dance I would definitely want to be either by the beach or in the mountains but gotta make sacrifices for some things!!

    I’m actually from London, I lived there for a while when I was little.

    I live in what is quite a deprived area of Scotland now but one of my favourite things about living up here is how friendly the people are. I really like that.
