90% white seems a little on the high side to me even as an average. Out of
interset where did you obtain your stats. If they are accurate it would be
very useful for my college work.

If Hogwarts is in the are of Scotland suggested it would be nearly 99%
white, (Although as Hogwarts is boarding and pupils come from all over this
isn't relevent.) or possibly more. London, Bradford, Birmingham, Mabchester
etc however are at least 60:40 I should think if not 50:50. I also believe
there is a large Asian community in Cardiff. Certainly the London inner city
nurseries and primary schools I am training in reflect this, indeed in the
current placement there are more non-whites than whites. South West of
Bristol you are looking at much lower figures.

Heather, both puzzled and interested
