London, England

But there's a multiplicity of diasporic communities in London so there must be something about Londo n and want to move in a couple of years or so but I''m sure I'll miss it when I go...

You say the English are ethnocentric like it's a bad thing. Tell me, the bad parts of London you refer to, how many of them are "diasporic", as you call it? How many of the bad parts are populated by the evil ethnocentric English?
What's wrong with being ethnocentric? Every other race in the world gets to be proud of their ethnicity and protect it, why not us?

I lived in London for a couple of years. I miss it. Sometimes. Sort of.

Different. Both good.

Thanks for the tickets, by the way. Although I had to take my little brother in the end. (Long story.)

Spit it out, what you are asking is " Are you a racist?"

Actually, it seems to me that he is the racist.

There's that word again, an automatic win for anyone who uses it against mighty whitey, even though all we want to do is keep our heritage, customs, and values intact.
Once again, every other race and nationality ON EARTH can do it and not be called racist, why not us?
