Sir, you have depicted a nice picture of multicultural society, which is very true.We (me and other) live Australia, we often experience this kind of situation. Some of our neighbour are ok (20%), some are so called multicultural mentality (30%), and some are very bad-mannered (50%), they cannot tolerance other community. Most of them do not like to say hi, so called “stranger danger”.
One day I was listening Bangla music, just after few moment someone knocked my door and put a note saying that,” Your choice is not similar to ours”. The lady who used to be my neighbour, she often did these kinds of activities, but pretended that she was so good to me. (Anyway, before leaving her flat, she presented me some chocolates).This does not happen only in community level, but also at work.
We often have been stereotyped. However, I would like to say, to some extent we are responsible for this, last few decade who came here from our country, they sometime misrepresent our culture and values. Our media, government and many non-governments are responsible for this. They only show our poverty and flood to them for their own benefits, we are the true representative of poverty, flood and corruption. I do not know about UK, but here “Middle-east” people’s attitude toward Asian community is worse than other. They not only harass and beat Asian (Indian, Bangladeshi) but also mug.
