We all live in Hyndburn so why this 'them and us' distinction? Both candidates for Central Ward (where I live) are Asian, but do they not repreent me as I am not Asian? Do they only represent 'the community'? A friend of mine (white woman) moved into a house on Higher Antley Street and has been told by a neighbour that she should not have moved into an Asian area! I was under the impression that we didn't have exclusive ghettos in Accy.

you are right willow constant references to the community are creating division and sadly the bigots from the BNP and the so called leaders will be the only ones to benefit
