The Jews, Irish, Afro Caribbeans, South Asians, Muslims, Eastern Europeans, and now, asylum seekers. I wonder which group will be next for the xenophobes.
A book worth checking out is 'Move' by Parag Khanna. It looks at migration over history and the effects, both negative and positive. It's a bit dated and possibly a bit naive, but it does give some context which is useful when discussing the subject.
If I cast my mind back 3/4 weeks, the last time I saw it on the news, the 5/6 second clip… of a group of 10 people I saw standing talking there might have been 2/3?
Does that help?
I searched and got this BBC news article, which I felt was reasonably balanced as it had footage of protests and counter protests. Rather than a brief 5/6 second clip it provides nearly a minute of footage.
While I am happy for you to do a more in depth analysis through freeze frame counting, there does seem to be a higher ratio than the 20%-30% in the ethnic age group you highlighted earlier.

Fine as an article, but the BBC seems to be publishing relentless articles about the asylum "protests" despite some being as few as five people, and the largest I think being the one in Wales with nearer 300. Just articles and articles giving it so much energy and voice.
Counter that with the trans pride march I was on a few weeks ago that was the largest in the world with 100,000 people, and it started outside the BBC hq on Portland Place. They did one small article a few days later, seemingly from a freelancer, after people asked why they had not mentioned it at all.
As a journalist and editor myself, I find it astonishing the very deliberate choices made and how they shape a story and then his it's understood across the wider country after.

I agree - the media bias towards what it does and does not cover is far bigger problem than political bias on how they cover what they do.
I am a frequent complainant to the BBC about their coverage of certain health/wellbeing issues, including ME, Depression, Anxiety etc as when they do choose to cover stories, their language is often misleading and biased . . .

Mainland Chinese from the PRC, I’m surprised they are pretty much under the radar in the UK. Having lived and worked across East and Southeast Asia, as well as in parts of the US West Coast I’d say they are almost universally hated (with reason) there

The fact you don't know about it, but 100,000 people marched on it at a time of relentless attacks on trans brothers and sisters and where suicide is at a record high kind of proves the point i was making, yeah.
My guess is there will be a rise in people disliking straight white British blokes aged 35 - 65
Will someone PLEASE stand up for the straight white people? They've only got most of the mainstream media, thousands of years of social conditioning and overwhelming economic superiority on their side.
I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.
Maybe one day all the country’s woes can be laid back at the door of teenagers getting pregnant on purpose so they can get benefits and preferential treatment for council housing.
Oooh, old skool.

It does. It is definitely odd that such a large event wasn't covered.

For context... The reason for their universal hatred?
But what if one of your black acquaintances (he isn't a friend any more), who also happens to be gay, starts to undermine a business you have put money into ? And then you confide these problems to a black woman who is a third of your age and she goes soft on you. And you have to push her away (because she's a third of your age, but I must stress, in her early twenties) and then you get the sharpest WhatsApp you have ever received in your life ?
Sounds like it could be the plot of a Steve Carell movie.
So my advice is: write it all down. Especially the sassy snapbacks from the black woman friend who is in her twenties!
If you want to know how it ends: Kenan Thompson's character tries to get everyone to make friends again at a barbecue. The 20s black woman, played by Ayo Edibiri,storms out when Steve Carell arrives. Thompson throws down his barbecue tongs in frustration, which makes the lovable Labrador jump up at Carell, he falls backwards into the barbecue, knocking it over and setting fire to the fence.
Just as she is about to get into her car, Ayo spots the flames and smoke, and runs back to the garden. She finds Carell and Thompson dousing the flames, but realises she does care for them really. Everybody hugs.

Politically, think of Putin's Russia x 10
Individually, the majority of PRCs attitude and behaviour leaves much to be desired. And most of the PRCs I have met are brainwashed to be pro-CCP. Much worse than the Russians.
Closer to home look at the continued protests and objections for the proposed PRC "mega-embassy" in London. There's a reason why.
