Not sure about ethnic population of low-income groups. I suspect there's one very vocal minority... and then several others including Asians and Middle-Easterners who just get on with life. In my own work background, the number of "middle-class" (economically-speaking) blacks and Latinos (and others) is very much in line with the overall population distribution.

Lots of yapping about "the rich." For many of us that only translates to the 1-percenters. For many of the more vocal "less rich" is seems to be used as a very broad brush: anyone above poverty level must be "obscenely rich."

In contrast to the States black people in the UK are predominantly lower class, living in social housing, and 10x more likely to commit criminal offences.In fact the metropolitan police in London state that you are 6x more likely to be mugged by a black than white.

There has never been a black or coloured political leader or prime minister.

So the UK is a bit of a paradox , predominately middle class except for ethnic minorities who are stuck in the lower echelons of society.
