> London is a western city, because of its location and culture. The dominant culture of the local population is not "Western" anymore. > London has been a city of traders and other foreigners since at least the days of the Romans. Is it? Let's look at the official data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_London Percentage of white population in London over the years: - 1961 - 97,7% - 1966 - 95,5% - 1971 - 92,6% - 1981 - 86,6% - 1991 - 79,8% - 2001 - 71,15% - 2011 - 59,79% - 2021 - 53,8% It's clear that, up until very recently, London was a city of traders and other foreigners living there among the highly homogenous local population. | ||
