Starkey reminds me of some old boozer in a pub where regulars wish he drank elsewhere due to the endless moaning about crap nobody is really that interested in.

Hardly very controversial to say much of the UK is still white. And why should whites not cling to their own culture? Everyone else does.
The double standards we keep seeing are astonishing, for example, we spend tax payers' money on an Asian channel and then criticise a single program for showing white village life. We should make up our minds whether to encourage integration or multiculturalism and apply it to all without favour, not demand that white British make concessions and others none.

Joking aside, I think this "bigotry" exists in any community anywhere in the world. The more closed off the community is the more afraid/protective the people in it are. The same applies to any community whether it be a sports team, a business, an office as well as say a village, town or city even. It applies therefore to white, black or whatever colour a groups skin is. Skin colour is an easy and simple, albeit crude, way of identifying people who "are not from round these parts".
