 multicultural, Britain, diverse, ghetto, Trevor Phillips, ethnicity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
Trevor Phillips’ speech at the Manchester council for Community relations has stated that Britain is slowly drifting to segregation, whilst most of us may believe that we are a good example of a functioning multicultural society, in reality this is not the case.
According to Phillips’, this segregation also extends to residential districts, even to the extent that some areas are turning into ghetto’s, in the sense that a single area is inhabited 90% of people from the same ethnicity.
Trevor Phillips’ speech was backed up by research that the CRE carried out; disturbingly 95% of white Britons said that the majority of their friends were white, whilst 31% of ethnic minorities stated that their friends were from ethnic minority backgrounds.

 Civitas: Mr Trevor Phillips Puts His Foot In It …
Yet, yesterday’s newspapers carry reports that some of them at least are up-in-arms with Mr Phillips, metaphorically speaking of course, for his having supposedly upbraided them in his lecture for not doing enough to exhibit public condemnation of acts of terror carried out in the name of their religion by the likes of Al Qaeda.
Their complaint is that, since they have repeatedly given public expression to their abhorrence of Islamist terrorism, what Mr Phillips said went beyond legitimate comment and amounts to ‘Islamophobia’, something the public expression of which Mr Phillips has called for to be banned.
Either Mr Phillips must be considered unworthy of his job on account of his harbouring unconscious Islamophobia, or else the extension of the law for which he has called must be considered unworkable and hence undesirable -- in which case his suitability for the job he holds becomes equally suspect through having called for it.
