- roywiggins 7y agoThe UK population is ~87% white. The US is at 77%. As to relative degrees of integration, I don't know how you'd measure it, but the UK has its own serious struggles on that front.
- felipelemos 7y agoBrazil is 47% (declared) white, and still with a lot of racism. Neither of these countries can be considered fully integrated. That is, unfortunately, still far away from everyone. And until we live in a society that separates us from them, we will not be able to achieve that.
- scarejunba 7y agoYeah, but no city I've ever been to has matched London for diversity. It truly feels like the world embedded in one city. I love it dearly. Rural Wales has always seemed a bit racially non-diverse with the resulting odd views that come from that.
- switch007 7y agoThat is hilarious. Are you really suggesting that our favourite dish is evidence of successful multi-racialism and integration? Come to Yorkshire. Integrated is the last word I'd use to describe Bradford, Huddersfield, Dewsbury...
- zabzonk 7y agoI was born in Halifax, and my brother lives there. Seems OK to me. But I speak from the perspective of someone that lives in London, in Wood Green, and you could not get anywhere more diverse and yet integrated.
- switch007 7y agoHalifax is 87% white though. Much higher than Bradford and Huddersfield. I specifically mentioned Yorkshire (being not London) as I suspected you were thinking of London. At 12% of your population it’s not representative of the U.K (though neither is Yorkshire of course) I wonder what the demographic of Skirtcoat Green are compared to the western part of the town. It’s my impression that the small Asian communities live in certain parts and there is not much of a mix.
