A survey for the Guardian revealed
43% of ethnic minorities were overlooked for promotion in a manner that felt unfair (more than twice the proportion of white people)
37% were stopped by the police without good reason
55% mistaken for an employee rather than a customer in shops
34% asked to leave a club, bar or restaurant for no good reason (three times as likely as a white person)
62% reported being stopped going through airport security or customs
The poll also found comprehensive evidence to suggest unconscious bias has a negative effect on the lives of Britain's 8.5m people from minority backgrounds that is not revealed by typical data on racism. For example:
38% had been wrongly suspected of shop lifting (14% of white people)
55% had been treated differently due to their hair or clothes (29% of white people)
Minorities were also twice as likely to have suffered abuse or rudeness from a stranger.
Didn't realise the problem was so bad tbh.
