Re: The Race Map of Britain (by The Independent newspaper)
I found the text without the map:
Quote:
SCOTLAND AT A GLANCE
The total minority ethnic population is just over 100,000. This is an increase of 62.3 per cent in the past decade.
The largest non-white group in Scotland is people of Pakistani origin, with 31,793 people - two thirds of one per cent (0.63 per cent).
The second largest non-white group in Scotland is people of Chinese origin - 16,310 people - one third of one per cent (0.3 per cent).
28 per cent of people in Scotland describe themselves as not religious.
65 per cent of the population describe themselves as Christian. 45 per cent of people in the Church of Scotland denomination are aged 50 or over, compared to 32 per cent of Roman Catholics.
The second largest religious group is Muslim, despite accounting for less than one per cent of the Scottish population.
Muslims have the youngest age profile of any religion in Scotland, with 31 per cent aged under 16 years.
