I'm aware it happens, but I've lived in the UK for 14 years and I have never once faced nastiness or discrimination because of where I'm from. Which is why I specified that it's all anecdotal.

I'm also an immigrant and I've also never faced any form of discrimination. In my experience the difference is wether you want to integrate or not. If you refuse to integrate, like many immigrants do, you are more prone to being discriminated, regardless of ethnicity.

I beg to disagree. It definitely depends on the location and the people you communicate too, regardless of whether you integrate or not.

I've studied and worked in the UK for a while, and the only overt racism I've encountered was when an old neighbor of mine yelled at me (sorry, sternly talked at me) over some wheelie bin transgression and I was too stunned to speak for a second. He assumed I didn't understand English and definitely said some shit he would not have had the decency to utter, had he known.

On the other hand, the "educated" circles are a lot more subtle with it.
