There are parts of England now that whites just know they should not venture into. However, the same goes for the USA. A friend of mine who is Iranian mentioned that his brother was visiting St. Louis a couple of years ago and the police pulled him over as he was approaching a particular section of town. Mind you, this family looks, well, like light Mexicans or maybe darker southern Italians, but the policeman told him he was the "wrong color" to be going into that section of town towards late afternoon/early evening. This was done for his safety.
I live in St Louis myself and thats one of the best compliments they have gotten recently. Their image took a beating last year.
I never got beat up while in England but we had some close calls.

Reminds me of a pack of Coyotes...in groups they will attack a bigger prey. One on one, they will evade a larger prey.

Back in the sixties it was the Mods and the Rockers and of course the resulting synthesis group the Mockers.
