"As Professor Gemma Catney of Queen’s University Belfast has shown, places often labelled as “white minority” are in fact ethnically diverse, with no one group dominating" Our @gemmacatney's research in print & online in today's Sunday Times @thetimes x.com/TomHCalver/sta…
This week’s column is all about segregation Some on the right would have us believe that mass migration is making Britain more segregated. The data shows that just isn’t true: every ethnic group is getting more dispersed… 1/5 @thetimes thetimes.com/article/09fd33…
Anti-immigration rhetoric claims it leads to ethnic ghettos. Statistics tell a different story | ✍️ @tomhcalver
Gentrification, plus the natural process of integration, has meant migrants who initially congregate in certain areas tend to disperse quickly And as @gemmacatney has shown, places that some see as “white minority” are in fact ethnically diverse with no group dominating 4/5
What’s going on here? The relationship between immigration and segregation is complicated. But broadly, segregation appears to initially go up when a few ethnic minorities arrive, but then go down again when the area becomes a lot more diverse…. 3/5
Last week Robert Jenrick singled out Birmingham as being home to “intercommunal violence” and “segregated communities”. Yet Birmingham has become quite a bit less segregated since 2001, *despite* the white British population falling from 66% to 43%… 2/5
