What triggered our recent move was my fear of being mugged again. So we moved a few miles up the road to a nice, safe, boring area. The downside of this, apart from it being boring, was rammed home today when we went for a 'pub lunch' and my wife remarked that she was the only non-white person out of nearly a hundred diners (I did spot an Indian guy as well, but hey).
That's the downside of white flight - where we used to live, mixed race marriages were the norm*. But surely it's better for law-abiding white people to look at you a bit funny than for the criminal underclass** to look at you a bit funny ... and then mug you at knife point?
* Except for the Pakistanis, of course, they think they're above everybody else, and keep it in the family.
** To be fair, the bastards who did me over were black and white and everything in between, there's no racial angle.
But The Worst Of Them Will Be Hit By It, Surely?

Anent your muggers: I was amused to find this remark about the Dark Ages-
"The rich barbarian became Roman, and the poor Roman was barbarised."
Despite the claims of the soft left we aren't becoming a multi cultural society, we are becoming a series of mono cultures.
This isn't a new trend, it happened in my native Yorkshire rears ago. It isn't just whites who are to blame, most races tend to want to congregate together.
It isn't a UK phenomena either, go to any country and you'll find the same.
The Bradford Bowl being the most famous example.
