Nowhere am I saying that Liverpool is a beacon of multiculturalism I am merely stating that it has a history of non white communities and that it seems largely ok with that, we could get into a discussion of how Irish immigration, the most significant in terms of numbers, has whitened the gene pool in Liverpool but again, like slavery being the origin of the black community in Liverpool it's not relevant to this discussion.
Now I've also accepted my view of Liverpool could well be prejudiced by my own experience as a student at a school that was probably 65% white where bullying was never an issue on racial grounds but even outside of that I've witnessed / experienced far more overt racism when I've lived in other areas.
