Just under half of black Britons are “definitely proud” or “somewhat proud” to be British, according to the largest survey of its kind to date.

The landmark study, which surveyed more than 11,000 black Britons across 16 topics including Britishness, education and the criminal justice system, highlighted the impact of systemic racism in respondents’ sense of belonging and life opportunities.
