'Like a slum': UK MP's 'racist' remarks sparks outcry; defends comments

Tory MP Robert Jenrick has sparked outrage with comments describing Birmingham's Handsworth as a "slum" and "one of the worst integrated places" he'd visited, claiming he saw "no other white face." Jenrick defended his remarks, stating some areas are "largely segregated" and this should be discussed openly. Locals have strongly refuted his characterization of the diverse neighborhood.
