I live in a town that has experienced race riots. It also has ghettoes. In fact I live at the interface of two of them- Glodwick, which is Asian and West Indian, and Fitton Hill, which is white.
But, I dunno, there's an effort being made to get the communities to mix. And last time I checked I'm pretty certain we had an Asian mayor.
All I know of France are the pretty bits. But I was struck, last time I motored through, by just how vast the agricultural hinterland is. I think some of the difference between the two cultures may having something to do with Britain being predominantly urban and France predominantly rural.
