[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif][size=2]Four out of 10 white people do not want an Asian or black Briton as their neighbour, according to a survey published this week. [/size][/font] [font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif][size=2]The opinion poll found rocketing concern about immigration and asylum combined with ignorance about basic facts about the issue and growing resentment. [/size][/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif][size=2]The Mori survey for Prospect magazine found that 39% of those asked would prefer to live in an area only with people from the same ethnic background. Forty-one per cent of whites and 26% of ethnic minority people surveyed wanted the races to live separately. Over half of all ethnic groups wanted to live in diverse areas. [/size][/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif][size=2]The poll found older people were most in favour of living apart from other races. Only 40% of people over 55 disagreed with the idea, compared with 64% of 16- to 34-year-olds. [/size][/font]
[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif][size=2]Bobby Duffy, research director at Mori, said: "We have overestimated the progress we have made in race and immigration issues. I'm surprised about such a high finding as people are usually reticent because they worry about being judged by the interviewer, so this finding is worrying." [/size][/font]
