Study Finds Britons Across Ethnic Groups Believe Racial Equality Is Worsening

A new study by the thinktank British Future has found that people across different ethnic groups in Britain believe racial equality is deteriorating, according to the report cited by the Guardian.

The research, based on a poll, found that nearly half of respondents from minority ethnic backgrounds said they had experienced prejudice over the past year.

According to the report, the perception that discrimination has become more common was shared broadly among Britons, not only among those from minority ethnic communities.

The Guardian noted that one in six people in Britain are from minority ethnic backgrounds, underscoring the scale of the population affected by the trends identified in the study.

British Future's findings suggest a widespread sense across ethnic lines that racial equality in the country is moving in the wrong direction, though the report does not attribute specific causes for this perception.
