本文采用了两个以前被忽视的指标，从英国社会态度调查的种族偏见，以检查对黑人和亚洲英国人的偏见的社会分布。三个假设提出和测试：种族偏见正在下降，在英国，这种下降主要是世代的性质，和更大的偏见是对更多的文化不同的亚洲少数民族比黑人少数民族。前两个假设得到了强有力的证据，有证据表明偏见总体下降，并且自20世纪50年代大规模黑人和亚洲移民开始以来成长起来的几代人的偏见急剧下降。几乎没有证据表明第三种假设：英国人对黑人和亚洲少数民族的反应大致相似，这表明种族差异可能仍然是促使白色人敌视英国少数民族的主要因素。
This article employs two previously neglected indicators of racial prejudice from the British Social Attitudes surveys to examine the social distribution of prejudices against black and Asian Britons. Three hypotheses are proposed and tested: that racial prejudice is declining in Britain; that this decline is principally generational in nature; and that greater prejudice is shown towards more culturally distinct Asian minorities than black minorities. Strong evidence is found for the first two hypotheses, with evidence of an overall decline in prejudice and of a sharp decline in prejudices among generations who have grown up since mass black and Asian immigration began in the 1950s. Little evidence is found for the third hypothesis: British reactions towards black and Asian minorities are broadly similar suggesting racial differences may still be the main factor prompting white hostility to British minorities.
