White Britons are leaving areas where they are in a minority and are being replaced by immigrants and other ethnic minorities, a study by the Demos think-tank has found.As a result of ‘white flight’, nearly half of ethnic minorities in the UK – about 4 million people – live in communities where whites make up less than half of the population.Demos found that areas where whites are a minority were becoming populated by new British ethnic minorities like Somalis, who often take up housing vacated by established older ethnic minorities like Afro-Caribbeans.Ethnic minorities now number 4.1 million people living in council wards in which whites, including foreign nationals such as Eastern Europeans, make up less than half the total. This compares to only a million ethnic minorities in the same situation at the time of the 2001 census.But the study also found that more ethnic minority families are moving into areas which have previously been white-dominated. In 2001 there were 5,000 council wards where the population was 98 per cent white; whereas now there are just 800 wards out of 8,850 with less than 2 per cent of ethnic minorities.This process has been coined the ‘Ambridge effect’ and refers to the arrival of ethnic minority characters in recent years in the traditional rural British setting of the long running Radio 4 soap the Archers, which is set in the fictional village of Ambridge. Trevor Phillips, the former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, told the UK media that the figures were “not good news for integration” and should make us “a little anxious”.As recently as 2005, Phillips warned that Britain was “sleepwalking into segregation.”“And it is the clear result of Labour’s mass immigration policy,” Sir Andrew Green, chairman of the Migration Watch think-tank and pressure group told the Daily Mail.After coming to power in 1997, Labour deliberately relaxed immigration rules to open up the economy and also for political reasons to make Britain more multicultural and to make the arguments of right wing politicians appear obsolete.“The case for a sharp reduction in immigration is now overwhelming; we cannot possibly integrate new arrivals on anything like the present scale,” said Green.It was reported earlier in the year that more than 600,000 white British Londoners have left the capital in the last decade.Between 2001 and 2011, 620,000 Londoners – the same number of people that live in a city the size of Glasgow – have moved out.While the total population of London shot up by more than a million to 8.2 million, over the same period only 3.7 million Londoners called themselves white British in 2011, down from 4.3 million in 2001.Behind white Britons, the second-largest ethnic group in the capital is Asians at 18 per cent, flowed by black Londoners at 13 per cent.“The greater concentration of the ethnic minority population means there is less opportunity for interaction with the white mainstream,” which would lead to “limited familiarity with majority cultural codes,” David Goodhart, the director of Demos told the Daily Mail.During the 1980s Britain was plagued with race riots in a number of major cities. However, the riots of 2011 were more to do with a general breakdown of some parts of UK society and were not deemed as racially-motivated. … Read More

Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American
As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1.) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2.) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.This has been most obvious in the context of recent mass shootings. In those awful episodes, a religious or ethnic minority group lacking such privilege would likely be collectively slandered and/or targeted with surveillance or profiling (or worse) if some of its individuals comprised most of the mass shooters. However, white male privilege means white men are not collectively denigrated/targeted for those shootings — even though most come at the hands of white dudes.Continue Reading… … Read More
25,000 protest against Cyrillic signs in ‘Croatian Stalingrad’
Serbs make up about 35 per cent of the town’s population. According to current Croatian legislation, ethnic minorities have the right to use their respective languages for official purposes such as the names of public institutions or streets in areas where they make up a third of the population.However, crowds pushed for Vukovar to be excluded from the law requiring the use of Cyrillic.”There’s no way that we accept Cyrillic,” the organizers’ spokesman Dragutin Glasnovic told AFP. “Vukovar should be treated differently due to a special respect for its victims, on whom Croatia was founded.”Protesters from all across Croatia wore T-shirts with the inscription “For a Croatian Vukovar – No to Cyrillic”, holding banners such as “Vukovar will never be Вуковар [the name of the city in Cyrillic].” Many veterans of Croatia’s 1991-95 war paraded in their military uniforms. The 1991-95 Croatian war for independence from Yugoslavia claimed 20,000 lives. Croatia aimed to leave Yugoslavia as a sovereign country, while the Serbs opposed the secession and wanted Croatia to remain a part of Yugoslavia. The reason for the protesters’ demand is the conflict at the beginning of 1990s, when Vukovar was besieged by the Yugoslav National Army and Serb forces. The city fell after three months and was almost completely destroyed. Vukovar has sometimes been called the ‘Croatian Stalingrad’.Serbs are the country’s largest minority, constituting 4 per cent of Croatia’s population of 4.2 million people.Respect for minorities’ rights was a key condition for Croatia to join the European Union. Its entry into the bloc is set for July 1, following the ratification by all 27 EU member states. … Read More

Voters see GOP as “scary” and “narrow minded,” says RNC report
A report released by the Republican National Committee’s Growth and Opportunity Project finds that most voters see the party as “out of touch” and “scary,” and concludes that Republicans must focus on outreach to minorities.The report, which analyzed the GOP’s losses in the 2012 elections, said that many of those surveyed described the party as “narrow minded” and a party of “stuff old men.”"Young voters are increasingly rolling their eyes at what the Party represents, and many minorities wrongly think that Republicans do not like them or want them in the country,” the report says. “When someone rolls their eyes at us, they are not likely to open their ears to us.”The report recommends that the GOP “stop talking to itself” and that “If we want ethnic minority voters to support Republicans, we have to engage them, and show our sincerity.” On social issues, the RNC concludes that Republicans need to be more “inclusive and welcoming.”Continue Reading… … Read More
