LONDON (AFP) - Nearly half of British Asians would only marry someone of their own race, according to a survey published Monday.
A total of 44 percent said they would not consider inter-racial marriage -- almost five times higher than the figure for white Britons, of whom nine percent said they would only marry within their race.
But 53 percent of Britons with Asian origins said they would not mind a mixed race marriage, compared to 87 percent for whites.
