Some of that is quite worrying. The bit about work ethic is staggering, especially when you look at who populates the gig economy.

That said, when 85% of the population are white, and most of the non-white population are concentrated in a very small number of geographic areas, it's no surprise, 'race' isn't top of the list.

The actual report from KCL: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/policy-institute/assets/unequal-britain.pdf

Just looking at the key findings, the tone of the report appears to be very different to the Guardian's reporting of it (quelle surprise!).

You seem to have predetermined your stock response before reading the article. That's if you did read the article.

So what is it trying to suggest then?

Written with no agenda whatsoever. Even included which way the main culprits vote.

It's the Guardian, what did you expect?

Read it and you'll see.

If those figures are anywhere near accurate, I wonder how many of the replies have been coloured, rightly or wrongly, by recent BLM events?

What BLM events?

Of course in parts of the country, the inequality gap will ‘naturally’ include a gap between different demographics.

And it’s not a surprise to see that SOME people hold views that are total bollocks but are defined by race rather than fact. It’s also not a surprise that SOME people immediately get defensive over that.
