Found this in my weekly check of BMJ.  Interesting.

  Schizophrenia in ethnic minorities is more common in white neighbourhoods

  "The incidence of schizophrenia among non-white people increases
  significantly as the proportion of non-white ethnic minorities in a
  particular area falls. Boydell et al (pB 1336) found that as the
  proportion of non-white ethnic minorities in electoral wards in
  London fell, the incidence of schizophrenia in these groups
  rose. These results were not explained by deprivation. Increased
  exposure to or decreased protection from overt discrimination,
  institutional racism, inequality, or isolation are possible
  explanations."
