Who's got the most muticultural neighbours?

.. following on from the mosque thread.

I do ok – Greek/Chinese next door then Indian next to them, and on the other side it’s Welsh then Zimbabwe. There was a German guy a few doors up for a while too.

I live in West Norfolk having married a local girl, i’m from Portsmouth and treated as an “interloper” and someone of interest!

It’s about as white middle class as it gets where I live!

Not me. I’ve only once seen a POC in my road, and she was visiting. There may be some East Europeans around but I’m not aware of any. I have seen a Lithuanian registered Audi parked a couple of streets away a few times, so obviously I voted Out.

Stop procrastinating and order that shitting Uber already, Mol!

I live next to an allotment, it’s agricultural.

I live next to an allotment, it’s agricultural.

We waited 4 years for that?

Booo, I say, boooo!

Not us.

When you’ve Indian and Chinese restaurants/takeaways employing white staff you know you’re not in a ‘multicultural’ area.

And the Brexiter at work still thinks we’ve a local immigrant ‘problem’…

It’s about as white working class as it gets where I live!

Apparently we’ve 1356 people in our council ward. Of which, 1304 are white, 1254 British.

There are 3 Indians and no Pakistani/Bangladeshi. Fourteen black, and two arabs.

Quite homogeneous really.

Having said that, I live next to a Japanese woman. And one of my friends on the road does have an Irish passport! 😀

My whole neighbourhood is very multicultural, but funny enough, of my immediate neighbours, there is one elderly German Swiss woman, and everyone else is white British. Unless you count my own, Russlanddeutsch/Ukrainian/British-Canadian family as ethnically distinct!

I’ve got an Elvis impersonator, a bloke who cleans his Fiesta every day, a plumber, a plasterer and a few people I’ve never met. All white, but then it is pretty unusual to see any black or Asian faces in the area. Even the girl behind the counter of the Chinese takeaway is white.

Not very multi-cultural where I live now, unfortunately.
Ignoring the actual question somewhat….I grew up in Wembley, which is in the London Borough of Brent – one of the most ethnically diverse areas of the country.

On one side our neighbours were Hindu (they’ve moved & there’s now a family with a Caribbean background living there) & on the other side they are Muslim. Over the road, there was a couple of Caribbean families. There were also Jewish people down the road, as well as a couple of Irish families.

God knows how many cultural/religious backgrounds we had at high school – I think in our year of around 120-130 children, there were only 20 who would be considered White British.
One of my best mates at school had a Kenyan dad & Indian Mum, another’s parents were from Egypt, my Sister & I (twins) were good friends with another set of twins who are Greek-Cypriot, my first girlfriend was Chinese, but I had a real crush on two girls who had a Persian background & another who was from Yugoslavia….
I used to go running with a Portuguese bloke who could absolutely slaughter me (800m in ~2mins – can’t remember if it was just over or just under, but I was running 2min 18s at the time) and we used to give a local Somali kid (Mohammed) a lift to XC races & athletic meets when I ran for Thames Valley Harriers, as his family didn’t own a car….

I think at school, the most common surname on the register was Patel.

Quite a mix thinking about it and an environment that I definitely miss.

It’s about as white middle class as it gets where I live!

+1.

Pretty much everyone else is a Daily Mail reading, white middle class pensioner in our road.

If a POC is seen in local area most of the neighbours would assume either they were delivering takeaway food or generally up to no good.

I live in Cirencester, the tweedy heart of the Cotswolds. Does that answer your question?

Our neighbours are from Down South, though they have lived in the village for over thirty years now. That’s about as radical as it gets on our street.

Having said that a lesbian couple moved in to the house at the bottom of the road at the beginning of last year, but no-one’s really spoken to them as they’re not overly friendly

I live surrounded by a sea of Spaniards. I’m the odd one out 🙂

Work is better: I work with people from Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombians, and more Spaniards. (Monolingual but multicultural, I suppose).

Considering our family predilection for general loudness and the fact that I spend most of the summer in the garden BBQ’ing vast hunks of smoked pig we get on remarkably well with our Somali Muslim neighbours.

The dad’s got well into his road cycling since moving here which has helped. His daughter is also getting quite keen and seeing as she’s basically composed of 75% leg, I’m hoping she’ll try racing, as with a bit of training I suspect she’s going to be proper rapid.

Somali pancakes are ace BTW, highly recommended.

Not me…

Even in my lads class of 25 at school, there’s only 1 ‘minority’

Our road is like a bad soap opera, shoehorning most of the stereotypes of French society into a dozen houses: 3 doors down to the right there’s a Turkish-kurdish family, next to them is a Moroccan family (as there is 3 doors to the left) opposite them are a franco-vietnamese family and on the corner are a family from Martinique. And then there’s us 🙂
We’re just missing a totally over the top West African matriarch to turn it into a sitcom.

Edit: May I add that not being content with the ethnic mix in our village and being virtue signalling,lefty pinko’s, two abandoned houses in the old part are being restored to house Syrian families by the villagers.

I live in a Kent village.

On my road there is a Muslim family, the father, white British convert. The wife is Asian descent.

That’s it for the whole village, apart from an Indian chap that owns the village shop, although I never seen him but know he’s an Indian as his white, local staff, are always slagging him off in a casually racist way. Charming.

At work I work with the League of Nations, Brit, Dutch, American, S African, Singaporean, Chinese, Indian and some others.

I live on the Isle of Wight. Neighbours are Chinese (coincedentally with close family in the Taiwanese bike trade) and I’m technically an overn’er. Rest of the close is white, although there is a lady of eastern euro descent living with an older gentleman – not sure if that raises eyebrows and twitches curtains or not.

It should be added the island voted to leave and is a safe seat for a pro-Brexit MP. Not that I’m saying the island is geriatric, white and stuck in the ’70s, you understand.

Direct neighbours – French, Pakistani, Greek, Brummie, American, Russian.

All are globalist/consumerist and are middle-class, so not exactly ‘culturally diverse’.

Having said that a lesbian couple moved in to the house at the bottom of the road at the beginning of last year, but no-one’s really spoken to them as they’re not overly friendly

Unsurprising, they’re known for being tight-lipped.

(Sorry.)

Like my street, Ocrider, but I can add Spanish and Portuguese. A lady who has just retired replaced work at teh tax office with voluntary work in the refugee centre. The area is leftward leaning but the NF scores around 15%.

It’s all old white people.

Odd really.
Always lived in very diverse places before.

Although we’ve got a large Asian population people are pretty segregated, in terms of residential area and therefore schooling etc.

I’ve lived in much smaller and larger places, not so far away, that have been much more integrated and I find it a bit sad, tbh.

My next door neighbour

according to this – https://www.streetcheck.co.uk

…my street is about 83% white, and 80% born in UK (main minority here is Eastern Europe, the catholic church does very well).

So, not all that multicultural.

my next door neighbour

Very mixed neighbours here – swedes on one side, turnips at the back, cabbages the other side, wheat across the road, and maize a bit further down the road. 😆

The area is leftward leaning but the NF scores around 15%

Unfortunately they score higher here (a lot of the French families are pieds noir and still hold a grudge from the 60’s)

doris5000 – interesting link.

My postcode is 97% whits and 83% British born.

We have Italian, Polish and Malaysian neighbours. My daughter’s friends at school have parents from Germany, Poland, Greece and Hungary.

My next door neighbour is Ukrainian and married a woman that one would describe as a ‘traveller’ that has 2 daughters by different fathers that are both now shacked up with 2 lads with ‘origin unknown’ nationality!!

Me. Next door was born in Barnstaple, across the road grew up in Bideford, and next door to them from Scotland???!! Wurz that too??

Like much of rural Scotland, the biggest population of non-natives are English – almost 30% in my postcode.

Just checked the postcode where I was brought up.

White 250
Mixed Ethnicity 1

UK Nationals 245
Others 6

That has to be one of the least diverse streets in the UK.

Interesting link indeed. 92% white, 91% British born for me.

I also looked up my brother’s postcode in East London – 14% white, 37% British born.

According to streetcheck posted above my area is 92% white, being a rural fishing town in Galloway i guess thats to be expected as i know of only two africans who live/work on one of the fishing boats in the town, we have a chinese restaurant but the chans have been here for as long as i can remember and there are quite a few polish folk in the area who work at the fish factory.

Me for the win then.

Large council(mostly ex-council now obvs.) estate north of london.
Rarely hear anyone speak english.
Never any trouble, though it seems every week, is firework celebration time for someone.
