Having "10 black people in my town of 30,000 people" is not a failure of any system.

- that_guy_iain 6y agoYea, Scotland is something like 98% white. I literally never met a black person until I was 17. We had lots of Asians and Indians but not black people.
- marcus_holmes 6y agoI grew up around Bristol, but didn't meet a black person until 6th-form college. She was a classmate and we hung out a bit. I bothered her with sooo many questions. I think today it would probably be unacceptable, but this was the 80's so a different age. And I was so curious about what being black was like (and no internet to satisfy that curiosity without asking an actual black person).
