    Maybe its because I ain't a Londoner?

    Weird considering there are families with two white Eastern European parents in London. (I actually asked kids on my extended family in London who they went to school/college with, and the only kids likely to have two white parents had both parents from Eastern Europe. )

    Though the biggest thing near me was there were 3 posters put up by an evangelical church (cult) building representing a local family, an older couple and an international family.

    They put the local family as white European and the international family as a rainbow assortment. It was noticeable as it was the wrong way round.

    Anyway after about 6 months they changed the pictures of the families....

      Its not racist to expect things to make sense biologically.

        FFS, don't bring facts into a debate, it only leads to tears.

            That doesn't really account for blended families where you have partners with kids from prior relationships

              As SE's example was that the parents are BAME but the kids are white then its sort of difficult to suggest that makes sense.

                  Sorry didn't realise I needed to be specific - one of the parents was white the other parent wasn't and the kids were in-between in the rainbow family.

                  That is more like the families in my local area who are from the area or nearby, there as the white European family is more like families who come to live in the area from abroad.

                  And yes if you travel around in the day it isn't uncommon to see adults with children who don't look related but then who cares.

                  If you are trying to get people to come to your church (cult) then you should appeal to actually who lives in the area.

                  BTW not all evangelical churches are considered a cult but this one is.

                    Under represented in those wishing to foster and over represented in those needing care so the statistics are sadly against your argument.
