And that’s ok, so am I.
I’m just not dismissive of the reality’s of the issues out there.

Leeds isn’t a "white middle class bubble" - we have a large African and Afro-Caribbean community (our Carnival is world-famous, just after Notting Hill), and approx. 8% of our population are Asian.
I’m not dismissive, but I don’t over-hype it either; I just remember the same things being said about the Irish (being of Irish descent, they were said about/to me) - when you’ve experienced it, you look at it differently.
