Take a quick look at http://www.cre.gov.uk/downloads/irinbrit.pdf - plenty of documented evidence, although rather sketchy. Examples of stereotypes - and that is what they are - can be found much closer to home. In this very thread in fact. As to why people hold these attitudes and assuming you can take them as a 'given', the answer is complex and controversial. It's basically the same as the answer to 'why racism?'. I have an informed opinion - rather OT for this group ;-). If you fancy trying this out, go into a pub with a 'No travellers' sign in the window, and strike up a conversation about the benefits of ethnic diversity with the locals. Make sure you have a clear route to the door. Rob
