Try looking a bit harder at what causes the racism in the first place - comments like yours certainly don't help. Great blog, thank you.

Children speak Jafaikan and stabbing rate is flying high. Who cares? We've got "positive discrimination" and life can be sweet if you're one leg black lesbian. It's a Guardian reader paradise.<br/>I move to Britain 4 years ago, I'm neither racist nor homophobe.I try to integrate, but I already hate political correctnes, cultural, ethnic and religious gethos. Who knows, one day I may even vote for BNP. Here we are, 27 years later, London is really “swamped by people of different culture” (I’m one of them).
