In my immediate area (approx 3 mile radius) there isn't really much ethic/race variation and those that aren't English seem not to face any more discrimination than the average person.

It is more a cultural divide where I live; there is a relatively huge population of 'chavs.'


However, about 10 miles there is a fairly major town (90K residents) that is perhaps one of the most ethnically diverse urban populations in the UK outside of London. It is always in the news for race and hate crimes.

Weirdly enough, about 10 miles in the other direction there is a minor city (250K residents inc. suburbs) that is the most culturally diverse urban population any where in the UK and yet it is famous for it's tolerance of different cultures.

Though the second urban population has it's areas of poverty the first is by far the worse economically. In fact, the first is extremely economically poor when considering that south east England is the most wealthy region of the UK. That said, the second has one of the highest proportions of homelessness in the UK (even compared to the major [UK] cities) and yet, as I said, is very tolerant.

It is fascinating (though sad) that there is one of the worse examples of integration and one of the best in such close proximity. Perhaps it is because one's diversity is more ethnically based whereas the other's diversity originates from more cultural difference. Perhaps it is because there has been diversity in the first for many decades and that 'past' ideologies that have are typically far less tolerant remain prevalent.

around here theres like 0 minorities. I hardly ever see any blacks or any other minorities, like. I mean, three of my teachers are but you dont see them too often (ones black, the other two are east indian) so the only discrimination that may even go on is between the protestants and the catholics. of course, if I told anyone about my beliefs (im not going to get into that) Id probably would too. Atheists would probably get a bashing here, if there were any.

white and or latino people definatly get the most shit, its not even treated as a hate crime when people target latinos. black people tend to mess with white people a little bit but not alot.

asains are strait up discriminating against whites where i live but not so much against latinos.

pretty much its asians targeting whites and everybody except asains targeting latinos.

Blacks and Mexicans. Also gays, but that's not a race. Although they all get bashed around here. =[ I honestly don't think there is a single black or Mexican person in this tiny racist town. =[
