An interesting dialogue. You both have some fair points but, on balance, I see more reality in HipChick's understanding.

In rural, small village, areas of UK there is an alarming degree of intolerance, but that extends to white Brits who are "not from 'round these parts" as well as a particular dislike for POC.

Brits have a knack for finding a reason to discriminate against others eg North-South, English-Wesh, Lancashire-Yorkshire. Usually, it's with a healthy dose of humour, sometimes it's more serious.

However, in larger towns/cities the majority don't view day-to-day life in a racially discriminating context. Are there exceptions; sure, but not a prevalence in general society.

For clarification, POCs in the UK: Black, generally refers to those of Afro-Caribbean descent, Asian, generally refers to those of the Indian sub-continent. The only other 'major', and established, ethnic minority is the Chinese, who are simply Chinese, not normally referred to as Asian. Any other nationalities are also referred to by their nationality, not their continental region.
