'50% UK Asians reject mixed-race marriage'
Times of India ^ | 7 Aug 2007, 0209 hrs

LONDON: Nearly half of British Asians would only marry someone of their own race, according to an ICM-BBC survey on Monday.

A total of 44% said they would not consider inter-racial marriage — almost five times higher than the figure for white Britons, of whom 9% said they would only marry within their race. But 53% of Britons with Asian origins said they would not mind a mixed-race marriage, compared to 87% for whites.

The survey probed 500 people aged under 34 living in UK who had roots in South Asia.

When they say Asians, are Indians and Pakistani women included? Because 100% of white Britains reject the idea of a mixed race marriage with them.

I wonder what the figures for such a poll would be if taken in the United States. And broken down to different groups, let’s say, Caucasian attitudes, Black, Asian, Hispanic, etc. toward “going over the fence”. I don’t know where the figures would end up, quite frankly. It would just be an interesting study from a social standpoint.

Which ones? the 47% of Asians, the 13% of whites, or the percentages that don’t mind such a marriage?

Thanks, I should’ve been more specific... Non-muslim whites who would marry a muslim. Truly insane.

Interracial marriage is a mental illness? What is this, the 13th century?

Many studies have already been done. The attitudes are very age dependent, the younger the person, the more accepting in all ethnic and racial groups.

“Asians” includes Middle Eastern people in the British definition of that terms.

Does “Asian” mean “Paki Muslim” as is usually the case in the British media?

Islam commands them to colonize the west and inslave the jews and christians.
