The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights , which commissioned the survey and analysed its findings in a report, said that in the space of six years since the previous study the proportion of respondents who had felt racially discriminated against in the past 12 months had risen by 10 percentage points to 34 per cent.
"It is shocking to see no improvement since our last survey," FRA Director Michael O'Flaherty said. "Instead, people of African descent face ever more discrimination just because of the colour of their skin." The poll carried out by Ipsos for the FRA was a sweeping survey of 16,124 immigrants and descendants of immigrants across 15 countries from which several FRA reports will be produced - on other ethnic minorities and Muslims. It was conducted between October 2021 and September 2022.
The proportion of respondents who said they had suffered racist harassment in the past five years was unchanged from six years earlier at 30 per cent. The highest national rate was 54 per cent in Germany, followed by Finland and Austria.
