A few interesting, non-headline results from the BBC's multiculturalism survey: unsurprisingly only 2% of respondents agreed that they were "very racially prejudiced against people from other races", but interestingly 23% fessed up to being "a little racially prejudiced". This leaves the thoroughly unlikely figure of 75% for the nation's colourblind. The biological factors that influence the psychology of stereotyping should in practice ensure that the real proportion of completely prejudice-free citizens remains a minority.
26% of Muslims interviewed disagree with the view that they should "integrate fully into British society" and 18% consider "Islam is incompatible with the values of British Democracy". 36% would "stop all asylum into the UK", a figure only one percentage point lower than that of the national sample.
