I’ve seen this view (or similar sentiments) expressed on here before... Leaving your friends/community behind and living amongst backwards yokels is not that great for white people either.

Not to downplay the difficulties in moving from liberal cosmopolitan town to less liberal rural/town setting, but it doesn't really compare to being lone dark face in a white space.
As much as we hope race relations are moving forward, events of the last 12/18 months have shown that it doesn't take much for the under the surface, historical prejudices and viewpoints to rear their heads. And make life in less liberal/metropolitan spaces even more difficult to exist in for those who are dark of skin, whether they are first, second or third generation immigrants.

Well the point I was trying to make is apart from few oasis like Bristol, Brighton etc. 'moving out of London' is a white privilege.
