UK Study Finds Widespread Belief That Racial Equality Is Worsening

A new study by the thinktank British Future has found that many people in the United Kingdom, across different ethnic groups, believe that racial equality is deteriorating and that discrimination has become more widespread, according to the report cited by The Guardian.

The research indicates that nearly half of respondents from ethnic minority backgrounds said they had personally experienced prejudice over the past year, the report states.

According to the study, one in six people in the UK are from ethnic minority backgrounds. The findings suggest that concerns about worsening racial equality are shared broadly, not confined to any single community, the report notes.

The Guardian reported that the thinktank's poll captured perceptions from Britons across ethnic groups, pointing to a shared sense that progress on racial equality may be stalling or reversing.

Further details of the study, including its methodology and full findings, were not disclosed in the available excerpt.
