Fair enough :-).

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.
