Scotland - Unions stage march against racism

From the BBC.

Satnam Ner, of the STUC's black workers' committee, said: "The stigmatising of visible minority ethnic communities following the summer's terrorist attacks, along with the harsh asylum laws and tabloid misinformation on immigration, presents a politically-charged backdrop for this year's St Andrew's Day March.


"Harsh asylum laws" in Britain?!? What's he talking about?

And how does that square with this:

WHITE people are more likely than ethnic minorities to believe that there has been an increase in racial prejudice over the past five years, according to a Home Office survey.

Half of white people, but only a third of ethnic minorities, feel that there is more racial prejudice, according to figures published yesterday from Early Findings from the 2005 Home Office Citizenship Survey.
