dutch   68 #797 Posted November 23, 2013 I preferred page hall the way it was before, but am not going to be as silly blowing up those things that only show how repressed English people can be.  There are also more important issues that have caused valid complaints but many of the cultural differences are talked about here as if it is not English it will not be any good. England is not the only place in the world and definitely not capable of comparing, judging cultural differences the way certain people here only express their racial frustrations.

melthebell   864 #799 Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Whatever happened to accepting people for who they are and not by race or colour thats what happened in places like pitsmoor tho  its a white area blacks move in so its mainly a black area asians move in  now eastern europeans move in  and the previous occupents feel a bit aggrieved that theyre losing their area to "foriegners"  it happened up here to a certain extent with places like loftus and staithes, they moved loads of people from boro there, mainly from places like grangetown and southbank, so those residents already there start to see changes in their local area / populations, less people they know etc   as for your quote thats EXACTLY what i try to do, i dont like one race over another Edited November 23, 2013 by melthebell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

boyfriday   21 #802 Posted November 23, 2013 I may be wrong as I am getting on a bit but can never remember Page Hall being a black area.thought that was Burngreave,I remember the Asians moving in about 20 years ago.  Well we lived on Skinnerthorpe Road in the late 60's and weren't the only black family in the area although it was predominantly white. I remember my (white) stepfather boozing with his black mates in The Limes slightly further up the hill, although technically I guess that's slightly out of Page Hall. When we moved out an Asian family moved in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

boyfriday   21 #804 Posted November 23, 2013 Please tell me.... Where does integration fit in with your post. I thought these people LIKED to integrate into BRITISH society yet you yourself have just admitted that "SOME" people tend to colonize in certain areas  They integrate as they develop and move away, just as we did.  What do you think happened to the blacks melthebell alluded to, they didn't disappear into thin air, they dispersed throughout the indigenous population and areas of residency! The same's happening with the Page Hall Asians now they're moving away and improving themselves otherwise there'd be nowhere for the East Europeans to live.
