Does Great Britain have the huge racial problems like we have in the U.S.?
Their Minority (immigrant) population is around 10 percent but with the indigenous Irish Welsh and Scots its a lot more but nowhere near as proportionately large as ours which is around a 33ish percent…..But yes they have a lot of tension with the Irish, Scots, and Welsh on top of Indian/Pakistani and North African (Muslim places from Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt) Western Africa (Christian From places like Mali, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal)and Afro-Caribbean (Christian but from Jamaica, Haiti and Barbados) It used to be mostly problems between the Irish and British but now it seems to be white and Muslim (Northern African, and Arabs) as well as Black/White and Indian/Pakistani/White…..
I don’t know about HUGE but my Aunt lives in England and the answer would be yes. They have a lot of problems with Polish illegal immigrants and for awhile, there was a huge influx of Middle Easterners. Yes, there are racists in America and they exist in allll populations, black, white and purple but I don’t notice any obvious racism in my every day life. The only time I seem to notice racial tensions is when people like Jeremiah Wright, Michelle Obama and Jessie Jackson remind me that they are black over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. It’s really hard to be color blind that way. Well gee whiz, Obama is black! Who woulda thunk?
