Re: Panorama Blackburn.
Quote:
Anjum Anwar, who works with Blackburn Cathedral to bridge the gap between Muslims and Christians, agreed with Canon Chivers and said the programme had highlighted the problems Blackburn faced.
She said: "We have been saying for three or four years that we have a segregated community but we need to get rid of this political correctness that makes people afraid to talk about things."

I think she's hit a very real nail on the head there. There are some stupid situations where people get labelled as racist merely for stating a fact which exists. When it comes to taxis though does it really matter who is driving? Do people really select a driver of the same ethnic origin? As long as he isn't a convicted pervert it doesn't bother me who drives a taxi.
