Me and the wife have been visiting local schools in order to choose which one to send our daughter to next year.
The 'tours' are usually conducted by the head teacher and there are usually other parents towing along.
At the question and answer session at the end you can bet your last dollar that some handnitted metrosexual type will say "what proportion of kids in the school have english as a 2nd language?" and when they are told "quite a lot" they say "does this hold the other kids back" Come on be brave just say "there are too many ethnics in this school and my precious fragile little blond haired, blue eyed jemima, oliver etc will be overrun and intimidated by them, i would rather they went to school with kids of their own class and colour"
Of course they all come armed with data from Ofsted, league tables etc and of course they will do the best for their little wonder and for themselves, that is their way!
