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.

Yes I don’t want to imply they are comparable, especially not having that lived experience but I do question the ‘lone’ part and the idea that outside London, England is entirely ethnically non-diverse.
I think my point is that this is one (albeit large) of a number of factors to weigh up and to say that leaving London is ‘white’ privilege when areas could vary from being unpleasant for anyone (of any colour) with a different accent, to being extremely multi-cultural and accepting is to simplify things too far.

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.
