You wouldn't believe London is a multi- cultural ethics city by the lack of black people
They haven't got to Tower Hamlets yet.
Report History Maker June 3, 2012 3:59 PM BST
Not sure why you'd expect people from ethnic minorities (particulary blacks and asians) to give two figs about the monarchy. Few of them are more than second or third generation, so it's clearly not so much a part of their cultural heritage than it is for indigenous Brits.

For what it's worth, I was in the City earlier, and as far as I could tell, there were huge numbers of Americans, Canadians and Europeans in the crowds.

If you're ever in Amsterdam on Queen's Day, you'll notice that loads of the crowd are tourists too.

Que? It's perfectly obvious that we're talking about London (it's in the thread title and, until I mentioned Amsterdam, no-one had mentioned any other city). The area that I was in is known by all and sundry who have ever worked or lived there as 'the City'.

If I said to anyone in the home counties that I worked in the City, they'd know exactly what I meant.
Report metal_micky_3_legs June 3, 2012 4:16 PM BST
Does not say anything about you living or working in London before then, and I do not know you. You say "THE CITY" because you are really proud and the whole country revolves around you. But HI HO, off to see the wooden barges you go kiddo.

No doubt the BBC will have spotters out looking for some people from one of the 'minority' communities, so that they can conduct an interview and show us how everyone is integrating in the multicultural melting pot that London has become.

Unfortunately, out of all the millions that live in London, none of them have bothered to turn up. The BBC must be sickened.

It's wonderful isn't it?

The racists of chit chat can bring themselves off about how there's no'Grevilles' out and about at the celebrations (next time, they may even come out from behind their keyboards, once they've wiped the sp3rm off, and get involved themselves).

Meanwhile, the rest of the population seem to be doing a good job of enjoying themselves and managing to get along with each other.

Win-win I'd say.

"London is still, allegedly, 80% white" - allegedly

Let's say that figure is true.

So all things being statistically equal, if you look at the crowd you would expect 1 in 5 people to be a non white. That just isn't the case is it. Out of all the thousands of people on tv over the last few days there is hardly an ethnic amongst them. Very, very, noticeable by their absence, and no matter how hard the BBC try looking for them, they just aren't there!

To me, the vast majority of people who have settled in England have just not assimilated and never will. These last few days of celebration seem to back this up.

You can give people a british passport but you cannot change their cultural and ethnic allegiance.

You see the thing is, that is just not true.  It wasn't noticable in that the very vast maority of people just don't look at a crowd like that.  There are so many other things to think about before doing a head count of the colours of people in it.  I find it very peculiar way to think.
