At the crossroads where races collide

Article Abstract:

There is considerable mutual mistrust between various different cultural groups in the UK, according to research undertaken by the Institute for Public Policy Research. There is particular opposition to intermarriage, and this can cause serious problems for some couples. Tension between cultural groups is rarely discussed in public, possibly because minorities feel that they need to present a united front against prejudice from white people. Relations between Jews and Muslims are particularly strained, with Muslims feeling that Jews have disproportionate influence in public life.
