As we don’t know who we are taking into our country. They are coming over in boats with no permission. There has been a lot of deaths through letting them into countrys and no one let the people of northern Ireland to leave in the troubles. |

Because of the news you hear |

Because of the way society had portrayed other ethnicities and how close-minded the catholic church is |
|

Because they come to our country, take our jobs our money , our health service and give nothing back. |

Being prejudiced is simply an inexorable human behaviour that has grown, of late, into a negative thing. It is human nature to form an opinion - to BE is to form an opinion. If you do not form an opinion on information that you have come into contact with |

Ethnicity |
|
1 |
Everyone feels prejudiced towards others. It's just what we do |
|
1 |
Everyone forms their own opinions based on what someone looks like, wears or how they speak no matter what religion or ethnic group they belong to. |
|
1 |
Everyone has prejudice, you form an opinion of those you don’t often talk to or hear from often or at all, this can be positive or negative. Due to simply knowing nothing of them, from the people in question themselves. |
|

Everyone pre-judges in their head. Its normal. |

Failure of some minority groups to integrate with society to any extent. |

|
1 |
I believe everyone is a little prejudiced. |
|
1 |
I cant help but stare as they are different to me |
|
1 |
I don't feel comfortable as they are intimidating and feel that we owe them something. In my community minority ethnic groups are always involved in crime such as, attempted kidnaps and as a young girl this makes me uncomfortable going out in my own town |

I don't know |

I don't know it's just hard to not be sometimes. |

1 |
I don't know much about their ethnic group or religion |

I don’t think transgenderism is normal and should not be legal and don’t think homosexuality is normal either. Not a popular opinion but its my opinion. |
|
1 |
I feel a small sense of prejudice towards everyone. I believe others subconciously feel the same |
|
1 |
I feel like they are taking our jobs and living off the state. |
|
1 |
I feel that a divided society, causes problems. As more people from different parts of the world live in the UK/NI, problems arise. |
|
1 |
I feel this way as some (but not all) people from minority ethnic groups come here only to claim benefits and never work. I just think that it isnt fair, especially considering how the UK's money situation is. It wouldn’t be able to sustain these benefi |

I go to a catholic school |

I have been insulted regarding sexuality from people in these groups |
|

I have had some bad experiences with people from different ethnic groups such as bullying and harassment |
|
1 |
I have seen foreign men skip the queue and being rude |
|
1 |
I think that as a result of scoiety it has been taught to us that those who come from Eastern Europe are somehow lesser. However, I try to acknowledge this and know that it is wrong when I catch myself having prejudiced thoughts |
|
1 |
I've never had any good experiences with them only bad |
|

If people from different ethnic minorities are in big groups I can find them intimidating |

Im not really educated about different ethnic communities so I have some stereotyped views |

Influence from the people around me in school mainly |
|

Influence of family members |
|
1 |
Integration doesn't work, we're adapting to them, not the other way round. |
|
1 |
Isn't a lot of ethnic people and so I don't know what they are like |
|
1 |
It is because they always play victim, putting down other communities for their own gain. |
|
1 |
It just comes naturally, sometimes influenced by family opinions. |
|
1 |
Just the label that gets put on people i dont really know - |
|
1 |
Just the way I've been brought up in Northern Ireland. |
|
1 |
Just the way I've been taught things |
|
1 |
Just things you hear in the news or what other people say can make you get the wrong impressions, but its obviously not right until you get to know for yourself. |
|
1 |
Just wary as we don't speak the same language and things may be misunderstood. |
|
1 |
Lack of experiance talking to those people |
|
1 |
Lack of knowledge or understanding, media |
|
1 |
Lack of understanding of different cultures. |
|
1 |
Mainly how Protestants feel they can intimidate catholics |
|
1 |
Mainly just people saying things and things on Tv, make me feel that maybe they are what people say, but im never to quick to judge |
|
1 |
Maybe just that I am not as used to being around or interacting with people different to me. |

My father who helped raise me was always very prejudiced and I think that influenced me, however as I have matured and become more free-thinking and independent, I have moved away from his way of thinking. |

Negative social media and news articles (ie. about refugees being criminals) and large groups of ethic minorities in streets who only seemingly loiter. |

Not sure. |

Not used to being around them so often |

Not very common growing up. I didn't have much exposure to other ethnic groups. - |
|
1 |
Nothing necessarily wrong with them whatsoever but sometimes find them difficuly to understand and hard to interact with on occasion. |
|
1 |
Often other nationalities and minorities in Northern Ireland can act entitled and very often act as if they have a right to facilities and areas. |
|
1 |
Often seeing posts on Facebook about minority groups e.g. romanians |

Old fashioned views imposed by society. Also the fear of things such as terrorism. |

People from different ethnic communities can sometimes be quite intimidating and there seems to be so many of them. They are using public transport to our school and then theres no seats for us natives and they have damaged facilities in my area recently |
|
1 |
Possibly due to the person (s) deviating from the norms for example sometimes I feel prejudice when people overtly express their culture because I don’t see it all the time but I would never say to them. |
|
1 |
Previous experiences and stereotypes |
|
1 |
Probably due to the media's pitrayl of people from ethnic minorities |
|
1 |
Probably from media where they show terrorists and how you should some what be afraid of all of them (people in the same race, religion) which kind of makes me scared of all people within that race of religion. |

Religion. Where I'm from. Clothes |

Since the projudice views are so commonly expressed it is difficult to avoid considering them. |

There is not a lot of this group in my area. |

They are different to me. I feel like they would not be able to understand problems/life events I have experienced because of the culture my ethnicity allows, and that I would not be able to understand their worries/experiences as well. |
