Hi Ebbie! In fact, Scottish society is quite ethnically diverse.

We have many large, established, Asian communities, also immigrants from central and Eastern Europe who have arrived over the last few years.

There are Italian and Chinese communities in most cities.

Race is not an issue in Scotland,but religious sectarianism is.
There are Scots who would have no problem voting for a Muslim, but who would rather die than give their vote to a Catholic

With the number of guns in circulation in the US, I would think a white conservative backlash to be a distinct possibility, if we enter a lengthy recession.
The black voting pattern combined with the support of American "liberals" must add to the toxicity of the mix...Ake
