I have a sneaking suspicion that, despite outward signs, more working class areas might actually be less racist than more middle class areas; if we look at the recent U.K election results, the Tories based a lot of their campaign on bashing immigrants. The assumption was that this would help them regain the North Kent marginals (mixed skilled working class and lower middle class areas for the most part) while it would backfire in more middle class suburban London seats.
But the Tories only gained one North Kent seat, but they gained a lot in suburban London.

Most areas have a lot of racists and most areas with diverse populations have a lot of racial tension.
Sad as it may seem, there are no non-racist areas.

We have to learn to stop categorizing people by color.

Exactly. I think recent events in the East End might stop white liberals over here from assuming that only whites can be racist bigots.

I tend to think it's the catagorisation by colour that causes the problem rather than the other way round, although it'll be hard to get rid of either.
