How many times have you been to Newcastle?
Three.
I'm not saying it's rampant or anything, but it is fairly prevalent just like most other monoethnic parts of the world
When were you here in the 70s or 80s?
Where did you stay Hotel De-Cowgate or Travel In Howden?
A smattering of middle easterners and a Chinatown the size of my office cubicle does not make you multicultural man!
In a relative sense, The northeast of England is still very ethnically uniform
Agreed... Newcastle less so than the other parts but that's to be expected of the biggest city in the region really. Durham and Sunderland aren't very multicultural places at all, and the surrounding towns and villages even less so.
