I've heard Romford ,essex is a racist area. is it true??

Question

im black and looking for a home exchange, i've been contacted by someone in essex but then heard it a racist area???? i dont want to move to an area like that

Answer 1

Romford on the whole isn't racist at all but some bits are much rougher than others - saying Romford covers a multitude of sins, it covers such a wide area so I would do some research into exactly where it is - look up the postcode on streetmap and then ask again!

Answer 2

,Every where and every one is racist, it is in our hard drive.sent down from the start. There would be no human race if it was not for RACISTS I wish that every one would just admit that that is the case and move on. The worst days work that has been done. Apart from some idiot coming up with the idea of a god, and a devil!!! Was to try and say I am not racist. WE ALL ARE. The only way round it is to say, that you just might not be as racist as the next man/ woman.

Answer 3

I think you get Rsoles everywhere but even somewhere like Romford has good and bad parts, visit to see if you get the right or wrong vibe then move or don't move!

Answer 4

no it isnt i lived there for 10 years

Answer 5

A stereotypical Essex bloke is a chav with a red car with a spoiler on it and an england flag on a football on their car ariel.  They have shaved heads, an earring and a Ben Sherman shirt untucked over his jeans and expensive trainers.  He has a large watch, a large gold bracelet, a sovereign ring and smokes.  The girls have bleached blonde hair pulled tight into a ponytail, huge gold hoop earrings and tracksuit bottoms which show off half their bum.

Of course, this is just a stereotype and the people who live there are probably nothing like that.  Take me for instance, I live in an area of London which is known for black on black gun and drug crime yet I live in a lovely street and have lovely neighbours and have never been mugged or robbed.

Don't believe anything until you see the place yourself.

Answer 6

Just a tad mate, dont let it fase you though, go and all the very best mate.

Answer 7

my ex g/f used to live there and she said its a big multicultural centre but indeed it is racist, whites are terribly abused and treat as 2nd class citizens!

good luck what ever the descion

Answer 8

I would think the whole of the UK is like that.

Answer 9

I doubt that very much, the true of the matter is that they are probably in a bad part of Romford, and would like to move to a better area.

This is because my mother was signed up to one of these registers and the only people who contacted her were people who lived in rough or bad areas

Visit the area, and decide for yourself

Answer 10

its not just an area its the people who live in it if they dont like a certain race they will be racist, especially seeing as everywhere you look theres black people..living in london i should know. best bet is get out the country if its that bad

Answer 11

tell us what part of ROMFORD you are thinking of going to and i will tell you what its like

i lived there for a very long time,, the biggest problem became the street crime,, but as time goes on evaluation turns things around,,

Answer 12

I have never heard this but I am travelling to Hornchurch later in the week and I shall raise the matter at the South West Essex Klan meeting under AOB.
