Who's got the most muticultural neighbours?

This is quite informative

My wife had “You’re obviously not from round here, where did you come from” from one of the local busybodies when she last went into the village hall….a whole mile down the road from the house where she had been brought up.

The village concerned is 99% white brexiteers muttering about immigrants “taking over our country”, of course. Thank **** we don’t live there any more.

So what you’re saying is in your street, most are all white, but there’s one guy who is a completely Wong.
You’ve just lost the right to mock one of my shit puns ever again. Even I wouldn’t have gone with that.

It would be great if his name was Un though.

unless she went to St. Brendan’s High School

So you’re a Wellsway kid then

I’m 4 miles from Ripley. Once and maybe still the whitest town in the country I believe. Says a lot about some of the people who live there.

I’ve just tried that streetcheck thing, I was surprised at the diversity of my street according to that. I was also suprised that there are 361 people living in 21 houses, most of which are two bed semis 😆

AFAIK one guy in our street is married to an Asian lady (maybe Thai) and everyone else is white British.

There’s a fair few St George’s crosses flying in my locale (and I’d probably be lynched for saying locale in public)

The bar one is Mr Wong, nice guy but seems quite nervous or shy so only know him to wave / nod at.

No idea but in our street I’ve only noticed one person who isn’t white. I believe he’s a doctor, his mrs is white & speaks with a no particular accent.
I think we they all voted ‘out’.

Good butchers & ice cream!

@ ocrider , on the Levezou ? I have family in the village before yours towards the south .

Hmmmmm 235 people in my postcode, 234 of whom are white British and over 50% of them are 50+

Voted remain though.

cchris2lou, nope. I’m a bit further south-east in the Hérault, so there’s the influence of Montpellier to take into account (lots of commuters, including us)

1916 crimes reported in November 2016. 👿

Is there a prize?

461 crimes within a mile in November but none on our actual street and no bicycle theft so that’s a win.

I lived in Manchester for 10 years in multicultural streets but these days the street (edge of Peak District) I live in is very “white British”. An interesting mix of small terraced cottages with largely working class folks, all very friendly on our side of the street, versus huge posh houses looking down on us on the other side with ‘no turning’ signs on the driveway. We rarely even see those people let alone have them speak to us!

*Looks out of the window along the street* Yup.99.9% German. In fact I am the 0.1% Auslander. 😈

OK Ocrider.

I follow someone on Strava who lives in Aveyron and is in the STW Strava club and I thought it was you.

In number 69 there lives a transvestite
He’s a man by day, but he’s a woman at night
There’s a man in number 4 who swears he’s Saddam Hussein
Says he’s on a chore to start the third world war

[Chorus 1]
Oh, if you find the time, please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood

[Verse 2]
In 110 they haven’t paid the rent
So there goes the TV with the repo men
In 999 they make a living from crime
The house is always empty cuz they’re all doing time

[Chorus 2]
Oh, if you find the time, please come and stay a while
In my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood
My neighbourhood, my, my, my beautiful neighbourhood

[Verse 3]
In number 18 there lives a big butch queen
He’s bigger than Tyson and he’s twice as mean
In 666 there lives a Mr Miller
He’s our local vicar and a serial killer

[Chorus 2]

[Hook]

[Verse 4]
Oh they want to knock us down, cuz they think we’re scum
But we will all be waiting when the bulldozers come
In a neighbourhood like this you know it’s hard to survive
So you better come prepared cuz they won’t take us alive

Apparently there are several Chinese and a couple of Asians in my street. Don’t know where.

I’m not sure about streetcheck: for example, I know the data about the number of children on our street is too low.

I’ve seen some PC willy-waving threads in my years visiting this forum, but this one takes the biscuit!

I have a couple of lesbians living next door… They do nowt but moan.

….unless she went to St. Brendan’s High School

I don’ know why I find this fantastically funny.

I know there could be some real bigotry behind such responses, but I always found such grassroots prejudice simultaneously exasperating and amusing.

My best friend’s parents when I was a kid were very much like this, and while appalling on the one hand, some of what they would say warranted a simultaneous 😯 and 😆

Can we please add such a smilie to the menu?

Anything but PC. France does this better, ethnic information concerning the prison population or real population in detail simply doesn’t get published. I haven’t looked but would be very surprised if any ethnic/origin or other such information for my street is published anywhere.

I could have taken a girl home to my parents of absolutely any ethnicity and my parents and neighbours would have unquestioningly welcomed her into their homes………………..unless she went to St. Brendan’s High School

Sadly true. When my wife was a child her pal from next door wasn’t allowed into the house because she went to the wrong school.

A Geordie and a Yorkshireman. Can’t get more culturally diverse than that 😛

I don’ know why I find this fantastically funny.

I don’t and I wrote it!

The sad reality of growing up in the West of Scotland in the 70’s was that racism wasn’t really high on the agenda…….because religious sectarianism was way more important.

Scottish people, on the whole, are way more tolerant of foreigners and immigrants than they are of other Scottish people.

I don’t and I wrote it!

Please don’t think that I mean either to dismiss it or condone it; I think I have always been so uncomfortable with it, I can’t help but laugh.

Incidentally, a few years ago I was working among a particular community in Edinburgh. The Scots were very welcoming; the specific group among whom I was placed were most definitely NOT.

100% white , my daughters primary school class is also 100% white.

Never used Streetcheck before, interesting.

53000 people

97.5% white
Average age around 65

Explains such a strong Brexit vote. I really need to move….

Definitely not me. It’s not called the Isle of Wight for nothing.

Scottish people, on the whole, are way more tolerant of foreigners and immigrants than they are of other Scottish people.

Piss off

Piss off

On my post code……….

I’ve just checked a couple of addresses I lived at. Sreetcheck would appear to be a tool to drive the ghetoisation of the UK. It can so obviously influences people’s choices in a racist manner I’m surprised it’s legal.
