I think your comment makes sense. It has caused me to think more deeply about my comment. While I've never heard anyone voice it, I am sure there is a comfort level, conscious or unconscious, associated with being in an environment where one is surrounded largely by one's own ethnic group.
I think it would be fair to say that if I'd found a place with the same weather and amenities as TV, but where I would be in a 2% minority ethnically, I probably would have kept looking.
I don't think that makes us bad people, or TV a bad place, but it does make us an easy target for someone looking for an easy target, with an axe to grind.
