Well Speaking as a "White settler", the nasty incidents are usually vastly overplayed in the media. The problem generally isn't with people who have moved in and become part of the community, it's with people who move in and buy up a house then are only there for a couple of weeks a year. Now I have had the odd experience with the more extreme end of the local community, but generally the experience has been extremely positive.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Seriously, isn't that the same everywhere? The (justified) anger of locals at not being able to afford a house where their family has lived for generations because some rich bastards from the big cities move in an push the prices up?
