The restaurants exist in chinatown.

The UK doesn't segregate people, but they do voluntarily segregate themselves.

Oh come now, don't be a little child, it's called chinatown as all the shops and restaurants are there. All races live in chinatown, it's not just the place chinese people live.

Honestly, are you that daft?

[d000hg]

If you say so.

[Zoiderman]

If you say so.

I do, thanks.

Chinatown, in London, wasn't there until 1974, and it's in Soho, itself an area.

It's only known as chinatown, for the supermarkets, Restaurants and other chinese businesses.

Blue plaques everywhere for the non chinese people who lived there...

Where in the UK wouldnt you walk through a 'black' estate?

Well for example; Lozells and East Handsworth. is well known as a dodgy area in Birmingham, one of the scummiest areas in parts with a high crime rate. I've walked through it in the daytime and felt very out of place and I was the only white person around apart from a white friend with me. He told me that people get attacked at night there quite a bit (shootings and stabbing are a weekly event) and he doesnt feel safe in the daytime, let alone at night, especially in the black areas.

As for race, off their ward website, the figures back up my experience almost as white people are in the minority:

75 persons per hectare compared to an average of 36.5 for Birmingham as a whole. The average age is 31 compared to 36 for the city as a whole.

Approximately 57% of the population is of Asian origin with 25% from Pakistan, 18% from India and 12% from Bangladesh.

The white British population accounts for roughly 10% of residents.

Around 19.5% of the population is black, including 16% of Afro-Caribbean descent.

As for areas in London for example, there are estates in the likes of Peckham, Brixton, Edmonton, tower hamlets, etc, that can just be rough as hell. There are some black areas I wouldnt even set foot in during the day. Walk in to the wrong estate as a skinny white guy around a load of black gang members and you will stick out like a sore thumb. If you're the same colour though and dont give anyone attitude or the wrong vibes, you can be relatively safe in some bad parts.

I'm yet to see a 'black' estate, not too sure we segregate peoples like the saffers...

Then you must walk around every day with your eyes closed, or perhaps your rose tinted glasses stop you seeing shades properly.

The UK doesn't segregate people, but they do voluntarily segregate themselves.

Bingo. Many parts of the UK are seggregated. No we dont force people where to live at gunpoint.

But in society, you will find quite often one race for the most part lives in one area, others in other areas. Such as if any of you watched that programme on ch4 about bradford. In some areas, muslims are the majority by over 90%, in other suburbs, whites congregate together.

Some immigrants want to separate themselves and make a little bit of their homeland in the UK which is often what people object to.

Other times, it is natural to cluster around your own race. No matter how PC and liberal one might squeal they are, it is a primal part of the mind, developed over millennia, that groups/races/tribes cluster together and one is always wary of an outsider as everyone tries to protect their tribe. While we have progressed from hunter-gatherer times, there is still that part in the mind, that makes you familiar around your own race and less so among outsiders. It is a protection mechanism.

You will find in most cities parts are mostly white, then some mostly muslim, then some mostly chinese, then some mostly black. It is just the way it is.

With CM gone for the weekend, does that mean Churchill will be helping you train for your Iron Man.

Credit where credit is due that must be the funniest post EVER on this site.

Cheers Pondy - I will do the needful +ve.

Ahh yes - MF invited me to take the picture of him and baggy.

I was then invited to take pictures of baggies privates for his new dating site profile - but I couldn't find them.

Sometimes cuk is a real let-down. I think I will go back to the counting thread for some fun.

You forgot to mention the expression on the smaller guys face - a kind of pained pleasure.

Edit: actually, the whole thing looks like a bearotic swimming-pool heimlich manoeuvre. In speedos.

Then why compose a reply with words composed of 5 & 7 letters?

Oh trust me, there's no way you could mistake the two posters in the photo above. I have no doubt it was off your Facebook page.
