Belfast - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?
Well, this is Belfast so obviously there are still religious prejudices re: Protestants and Catholics, although they tend to be better hidden in the middle class world. Most black people have a least one racist incident per year, especially beyond middle-class-world or outside Belfast. There is increasing prejudices against Polish people and the Roma. - Nov 2014
Yes,there are definitely still sectarian divides. There has also been a recent large increase in the number of third countries nationals living in Northern Ireland (mostly economic migrants from Eastern Europe), which has created some tension. - Aug 2007
