 Background Dalston in Hackney
Dalston is an incredible mix of races, and on the surface at least, it really seems to work.
It would be all too predictable and patronizing for the occasional visitor to imbue the scene and those folk before him with a sense of exoticism born out of his own fancy, made possible by the fact that he's just visiting, and can leave.
The folk you find down the market (and in Dalston in general) probably know what it's like to have a hard life, to be out of work at times, to know a thing or two about racial discrimination; whose lives might well be genuinely hard.
