    Default What is London Ethnicity?



    Type into Google London Ethnicity and you get interesting results.

    Best guess for London Ethnicity is Black
    Mentioned on at least 7 websites including wikipedia.org, wikipedia.org and statistics.gov.uk

    That is not very surprising as London is the historical place of entry for many ethnic groups all the way back to Roman times, and is by no means a modern statistic.

    Well Google gets it wrong (if you click on the + button, the word "black" in the Wiki article is about the Black Death), but it also would probably be considered racist to say any place in England's ethnicity is white. (Eg Black's Police Union (National Black Police Association), but it would racist + lawsuits if someone created a White's Police Union)

    Hi,

    Being born and bred in Bury I can vouch that the town’s black puddings are the best! Unfortunately I’m no longer in that neck of the woods and have to make do with the wishy-washy ones in the Midlands.

    Bury black-puddings with a little pepper = a fiery beast!

    Because we belong to the day the night is the time of observance.

    London is incredibly multi-cultural. I like your list because it makes out that the Polish are somehow separate from Black & White plus the Chinese/Japanese are somehow the same. In London it basically depends on where you are living, my neighbourhood was mainly white with large communities of Jewish and Japanese. However if I took a bus to Wembley the ethnicity would change from White to Black and Asian.
