This whole Muslim no-go zones narrative needs to stop. Seriously. When was the last time you read about White no-go zones, areas where brown/Muslim people are unwelcome and not sold houses? Clearly something the Daily Fail will not talk about.
Brown people are told to integrate, so they try to buy houses in the more affluent areas. They’re either met with resistance, forced to continue to live in ethnic non-white areas or you slowly start to see whites moving out of the area: white flight.
So much for integration.
So much for integration.
Integration is supposed to be a two way street. Only colonial mindsets view the world in the binary of “you’re either with us or against us”, popular amongst right wing politicians, journalists and pundits.
It’s the mentality that gave us cantonments during the Raj, these were areas where natives weren’t allowed to walk/enter; racial and cultural segregation.
This is all very British to me. As the lovely Katie Fox observed in Watching the English
