Finally,

Dave,

In Leicester, just to clarify, there are several Catchment areas, or Ghettos, which can be characterized roughly by their religious/racial make up.

There are some mixed areas.

There are poor white areas ie most of the people who live there are white and poor.

There is a large Moslem area, where most people are moslem.

The common perceived identity of most people in white areas is that they are white.

The common perceived identity of people in Moslem areas is that they are Moslem.

In the white areas there is a small range of religious diversity. There are catholics, protestants, aetheists, Jews etc.

In the Moslem Area there is a small range of racial diversity - there are Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Somalis, Algerians etc

That is why it makes more sense to describe them as "white" or "Moslem" areas, as the common denominator in one srea is ethnicity, while in the other it is religion.

Thus, I have not mixed my metaphors, so much as referred to a demographic fact.

And it is true that when white people come into Moslem areas in Leicester, they do not get abused and threatened as much as Moslems do when they go into white areas.

I hope that clarifies the matter for you.
