Sadly racism does exist in Britain, as the continued existence of the BNP proves, but they are very much in the minority. I really can’t believe there is more racism here than in other countries in the world, and in my travels I have seen other countries where it seems to be a much bigger problem.

Is this a case of Hollywood executives imprinting their own perceptions on the rest of the world, as opposed to doing the research to learn what the facts really are?
