Nearly a third (29 percent) of the White folks in Britain believe they are victims of racism, a new government survey reveals. The issue is jobs, as many contend that ethnic minorities are given preference for public-sector openings. Conducted by the Department for Communities and Local Government, the survey shows that Whites feel like they face the most discrimination in public services, such as housing, schools and police, AP reports. A full quarter of Whites believe they lose out on welfare housing. A 10th of Whites say they get a raw deal in the justice system, while a sixth say police discriminate against them. About 3 percent say they get worse treatment than other races in school.
