    Uploaded by

    Oviedo Rocío
    Racism in the UK remains a significant problem according to several surveys and statistics. A 2019 survey found that racism rose after the Brexit vote, with over 70% of people from black and Asian backgrounds reporting racial discrimination. A 2021 survey of over 14,000 people from various ethnic backgrounds found that over a third had experienced racist abuse. Crime statistics show that the majority of hate crimes are racially motivated. Racist content on social media has more than doubled since before the Brexit referendum. Several high-profile cases in recent years also demonstrate racism, such as a man driving into worshippers outside a London mosque.
