Is it a problem that white and Asian people are increasingly living in separate areas?

Ethnic polarisation in British towns and cities, that's the finding of a new report which has looked at where white people and ethnic minorities are living. It says the white population in certain urban areas like east London, Blackburn, Leicester and Birmingham is going down as more and more move out to suburban areas. In fact the white population in Slough fell from 58.3% to 34.5% between 1991 and 2011. Is it important to you that you live in an area where there are people of all backgrounds or do you feel more comfortable around Asian people? Callers 'Raj' and Kavit share their stories with Sheetal.
