"Interesting comment about areas of the country being not 'Britain' what exactly do you mean by that?"

The only personally witnessed example I can give is of the area I lived. We had Indian neighbours who were awesome, lovely, polite, could get on with anyone. Yet if they were to walk around certain areas the woman (not young girl but a full grown woman) would have to wear the full dressup to appease the muslims of the area. She would be treated as a second class citizen to her husband and yet none of them particularly practice any faith (I think they had some observance but mostly kept it to themselves). Unfortunately it was the norm for the area that if you are of a certain skin colour you must conform to certain expectations by the majority non-whites.

I am not sure it could be called racism as they were of the same race but certainly cultural sexism which was socially enforced.
