Actually, I spent half my time in Texas more than 3.5 hour drive south of Houston. There was 10 white kids in my entire school...

Back to Britain:

Europe as a whole has a very large problem with proper integration. As much beef is made about American racism, Europeans are as bad if not worse. France has entire quarters which police no longer even go to as a result of muslim riots, the last one which went on for a good 9 months straight. England has always been a bit more accommodating, especially as a result of their history of immigration from India, but in all countries across Europe there seems to be a growing xenophobia.

Some consider it a result of a poorly implemented switch from integration to multiculturalism, for which I think there's something to it. The big difference is that in multiculturalism the different "flavors" don't seem to mix, they instead segregate themselves. This creates an us/them association which then breeds problems because our brains are still hard wired to be tribal. Unless there is a cultural melt and mix, I see these problems as inevitable.
