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.
Or just an easy target for someone stating the obvious.
