UK 'becoming colour-coded society' because races don't mix, says ex-equality chief: Trevor Phillips says Britain is in denial over growing levels of racial divisionf | Mail Online
The study from Demos and Birkbeck College warned that ethnic minority Britons were starting to steer clear of white areas to avoid having to be “ethnic pioneers”.
Correspondingly white people were leaving more diverse areas for the countryside, which are 90 per cent white.
This led to greater integration between minority groups, with Pakistanis, Indians, Afro-Caribbeans or Bangladeshis leaving their areas of concentration to mix with other minorities.
The result, the thinktank found, was growing trend of ‘comfort-zone segregation’.

Britain is turning into a ‘colour-coded society’ as whites and ethnic minorities choose to live apart, Trevor Phillips warns today.
The former head of the equalities watchdog said Britain was ‘in denial’ about growing levels of racial division resulting from the choices different groups make about where to live.
Mr Phillips, who is now leading a research project at the think-tank Demos, made his comments as he launched a study into how different ethnic groups have moved around England and Wales.
His study found that when whites leave urban areas to have children they tended to settle in overwhelmingly white areas in the countryside. At the same time, members of ethnic minorities tend to move to areas that are largely populated by other ethnic minority groups.
