 | | 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. |
