Oh deary me! I really have offended the East Dulwich posse haven't I? :)) Are you telling me that an area full of smug middle class whites who are soooooo happy that their houses are not too near to Peckham or Brixton would not have a racist bone in their bodies? Oh please. Just accept it! Racism exists. It hasn't stopped me from living and making friends from all races because that would be silly wouldn't it? I have found a way to negotiate around these obstacles and succeed. Please do not think I am being offesive or paranoid. I am commenting from my personal experiences of living, very happily I might add, in this area.
