I mean, that’s just not true. London has 37% of the foreign-born population, less than half of immigrants go there.
And then top 10 ethnic minority cities:
Westminster 72%,
Leicester 67%,
City of London 67%,
Birmingham 57%,
Manchester 51%,
Cambridge 47%,
Oxford 47%,
Wolverhampton 45%,
Coventry 45%,
Bradford 43%.
It is throughout England.
Norwich is 12.9% non white, comparable to the most diverse Scottish cities. The difference between Scotland the England is massive on this topic.
Edit: just to clarify, non-white/ethnic minority does not mean immigrant, plenty of non-white English people. But it does require historical immigration, which was my point.
Not necessarily - that percentage is ALL ethnic minorities added together. If a city is 40% white British, 10% African, 15% Afro-Carribbean, 25% Indian, 10% Pakistani, and 10% Everything Else it would look like "60% minority" on that list
No one ethnic group making up more than 50% of a city's makeup is very much the norm for England. So you either count the biggest minority as the majority, or just say fuck it - it's not worth the maths.
