Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
Journalists like their stories to fit into an accepted current narrative. With domestic politics dominated by concerns over Europe and immigration, and the rise of the far-right elsewhere in the EU, it is understandable that editors are alert to evidence of rising racism in Britain.
But today's figures are not evidence of rising racism. In fact, if anything, the trend is of flat or declining levels of self-reported racial prejudice.
The statistics come from the annual British Social Attitudes survey which, since 1983, has interviewed one or two thousand people and asked if they are "very prejudiced", "a little bit prejudiced" or "not prejudiced at all" against people of other races.
Adding together the "very" (3%) and "a little" (27%) figures from this year's survey produces a total of 30% - up from last year (26%) but well below the year before (38%).
Yes, the current figure is higher than the lowest figures ever recorded (25% in 2000 and 2001) but then you could equally argue it is well below the high point of 38% recorded in 1987 and 2011.

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
I would say racism in the UK is probably at near new heights today Ben...
Helped on by BNP, UKIP etc, some British people are under the impression that Asians and Eastern Europeans are stealing British jobs,,,when in fact, most Eastern Europeans here are employed in the fruit and veg market on farms.

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
I'm sure most of those said a little, and no more prejudiced than against anyone else they didn't know.
The politicians and media here like to brand anyone who doesnt agree with mass immigration and open door EU as racist or bigot or xenaphobe etc.
We are the most tolerant people on the planet and have people here from every nation in the world.

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
Fuck me its like listening to a stuck record when I read Matti/Tommy posts, starting to think he sounds like Joseph Goebbels.
So as seen the majority are not prejudiced by the report and thus must have no issue with multiculturalism, so why is Matti not concerned with their views?

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
I think it's interesting to look at that graph and note the wild spikes over the past four years. What do you think causes that? (anybody)
Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
Point being very few indeed would have said very prejudiced, and probably for very good reason because of previous bad experiences.
The others shown probably no more prejudiced than they would be against anyone else they didn't know and the rest not at all.
That is not the same as being happy with numbers of immigrants or happy/wanting multiculturalism.

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
I would venture to suggest that the spike seen in around 2005 was due to the 7/7 bus bombings
the spike around 2008 was due to the 2007 glasgow airport bombings
and the spike in 2011 could be due to a general feeling of "go get em" as a response to the killing of OBL

No what happens is people become susceptible to fear arguments, they read anti inflammatory articles about immigrants and as polls suggest well over exaggerate views on immigration based again off poor perceptions. Also extremist events can see a rise in prejudice views.
The reality is by far the majority of the population at least 2 thirds are not prejudice and that speaks volumes about how Great many of the British people are

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
Very true dodge, with most of those who said a little prejudiced are probably just like that with anyone they don't know.
With others who said very probably good reasons through bad experiences.
So vast majority of British people not prejudiced at all, or racist.....
But.....

Not really at all Victor as lets face it how big are any protests against immigration, in fact has there been many protests against immigration?
The reality is yours is an assumption, when daily life can also give a fair perception of how people get along with each other, the reality is a minority here in this country are just plain selfish, who are not concerned they are asked who moves in next door to them from any other part of the country, but if they come from outside the country it seems they suddenly do. It is nothing more than being susceptible to poor fear arguments, which you do resolve with segregating society through fear.

Wanting less immigration is not the same as no immigration, which is your view, thus again most people want to see sensible levels to help also being able to build infrastructures to keep up with levels, hence why most people want controlled immigration and is not based off prejudice

Tommy, that's just not true...there is an infectious like ' disease' going on right now in that anyone who is NOT against immigration, Muslims or coloured people are being labelled such things as ' p**i lovers ' and ' Muslim terrorist sympathisers'.
It's getting beyond the joke.

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
I would say it's less racist now. Gone are the days when so many people would have frowned on going out with or getting married to a black person or shunnimg a neighbour just because of their colour or their race. People are far more accomodating nowadays and just accept these things as pretty normal every day experiences.
People are just more aware these days of what racism is and although there are exceptions like people who are stuck in the past they're pretty much in the minority.

YOU can have all those great schools where english is the minority language...where your kids get bullied for taking easter eggs and easter chicks into school...

Happy to have more houses built as have been the case over the last decade here where I live, and happy that people come to live here because I do not suffer fears and aversions that you have, so your argument just fell flat on its face and shows yet again you play on child like fears.
Even the rest of your post is based again on now if they are foreign their first language is not going to be English but it will be their second language, shit call the Police, the horror

So you dont care that your kids education is "restricted" because of the "language needs of others". you wouldnt care if they are the disadvantaged minority because english is the minority language....

How will my kids education be restricted, again a poor fear argument, in fact it seems your whole sad existence seems to be led by fear, because the evidence suggests in this country we have one of the best education systems in the world.
Again you are basing poor assumptions where I see the benefit of multicultural classes, where they are going to be taught in the main in English, which shows again how immature your arguments are.
So again your arguments stem of nothing more than being a selfish spoilt brat who never learnt the lesson which we teach many children which is one to share

It could be that such internet promotion of dislike had only started to take affect by then Eddie.
Do not forget this was an attack in America, direct attacks in the past have seen prejudice views of the Irish and as seen there has been a build up of anti Islamic rhetoric since 9/11[/quote]

No it is not true
What is true is cause and effect, action and reaction
When ethnic group A is trampled,abused,ridiculed, seen their cultures and traditions vilified and otherwise punished to make way for other ethnic groups
Then it is only nature that ethnic group A will begin to resent the other ethnic groups, resentment will turn to anger and anger to hate
Simple human nature
Race has nothing to do with it

Yes cause and affect of hate speech by those who are prejudice who play upon fears real or imagined.
So it has more to do with economic down turns and how people look to seek to blame others, as seen by the graph.

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
Truth is, if a white Brit was in a relationship with an Asian/Pakistani, it wouldn't be the white Brit who would be keeping it secret from their family for fears of of trouble/repercussions/violence/threats/grief etc.
The British family would be more than happy.
So who's the racists?

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
Plus the spikes are probably just simply due to different people being asked. Hence small sharp differences, but still much the same overall.

Re: Is it true that Britain has become more racist?
Also the economy has been through good and bad times over the years shown in graph, so confirms little or no effect.
If anything, it maybe goes up a little as effects of mass immigration are seen and felt over labours time in govt
But I still think differences are slight and probably just down to different people being polled.

No
A single incident doesn't normally result is widespread anger, especially when a society is known for its tolerance
Repeated patterns however result in a backlash
And it doesn't need to be things like 9/11 or 7/7, it's more a lot of small things adding up with big ones thrown in when the pots already simmering
Sticking up signs saying "this is a Muslim area no gays/dogs/alcohol allowed"
Having a British soldiers head hacked off in London
It's an ongoing social, moral and cultural attack against the British/European by foreigners/Muslims that will result in anger and hatred
And why not??
How fucking tolerant are we expected to be??
