I don't have a problem with these ethnic groups receiving public money and limiting their membership to eg black and muslim women. After all, that is the only way to target the money.

Where I DO have a problem is where the groups become vehicles for emphasising the divisions between the the ethnic and the wider community.

If they spend their time teaching people how to fit in with the rest of society, then that is fine and laudable.

If all they do is sit and dream up new ways of making Oswaldtwistle more like the Punjab, then forget it!
