Is London England a "white" city?

[Anonymous]

And do Londoners/Brits ever see dark skinned immigrants there?

I come from a multicultural Canadian city (Montreal), and I doubt any place in Britian (or even Canada!) compares.

A quick Google search turned up this...

Looks like a sea of White to me

And yeah, Montreal is definitely multicultural. You got Jewish restaurants on every street corner...

You also got a large North African population...

You also got a large black population, largely from the French Caribbean and former French and Belgian colonies in Africa, who despise French imperialism, yet continue to reap the benefits...

You even got a large population of Chineses in Montreal...

People have this impression that Montreal is the most French city outside of France, but it's anything but. You need to go to Québec City, which is almost 100% White.

Well, they call it Londonistan for a reason. The town that I live in is 30% non-white. My understanding is that various other cities in the UK such as London and Birmingham are approaching majority non-white, if they aren't already that.

Summary
2021 Census data for England and Wales shows that:

the most ethnically diverse region was London – 46.2% of residents identified with Asian, black, mixed or ‘other’ ethnic groups, and a further 17.0% with white ethnic minorities

I don't nerd to live in London to know it's multicultural. Big western cities always have a mixed bag of people

As someone who lived in London for a few years, no it isn't. It is very diverse :)

London used to be "white city" now is even BLM, or Londinstan,80% of the shops and fast foods are hold by these people, used to love to go Proper English pub, now no more such a thing, a Fish & chips shop, from how many were in London, now if you find max 2 in a Borough, is Good, as Londistans they do fish and chips, Bu not like the English style, not even close..

True

I've been to London England many times, even lived there once for several months. There are all kinds of people in London, different colors, different races, different ethnicities.

London used to be the center of the world not too long ago, when it was the capital of the largest empire in world history. Thus, it is quite a cosmopolitan place with many different peoples living there. White Brits are of course though still the majority.

❤️ Montreal! Toronto too! Most NYers do. You Canucks are AWESOME!! Never been to London but from what I know very diverse now with many Commonwealth nations represented.

London is far from a white city.

[strateguy632]

first learn who won the london mayor election.

[Iron_Man]

Yes they are there as well. I’ve been there

[kellytheman]

They probably have some diversity but I would think it’s mostly white people than any other race of people. If the person has a different skin complexion they might just be a tourist or immigrant.

[Snakeyes7]

Uh... yeah. White is the indigenous race of the UK.

To say that it is a white city is as obvious as saying that Nirobi, Kenya is a black city.

[slatyb]

London is far more diverse than Montreal.

[CubaPirate]

No it's full of immigrants
