BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Asians being racist.

Nihal asks - are Asians more racist than any other community?

Nihal asks - are Asians more racist than any other community? Dr Pritpal Singh Ruprai is back answering all your health related questions.

At 1, Nihal wants to know - Are Asians more racist then any other community? 

Police in Bolton are looking for a group of Asian men who attacked a 31 year old white man. They've said that racist abuse was shouted at the man before the attack. But whether it's an extreme case like this, or in more subtle forms, do Asians have a big problem when it comes to harbouring racist attitudes? 

We've heard numerous comments on this programme from listeners who've said they're disgusted by some of the attitudes held by members of the Asian community. But are we worse than other communities? Are we less tolerant of other cultures and ethnicities? Or do you think racism is a problem that crosses all communities? Is it unfair to single out any particular group of people? 

At 2, Our guru will be in the studio today helping you keep healthy. It's Dr Pritpal Ruprai. Make sure you get all your health related questions in for him nice and early otherwise there's a chance that your question won't be answered.
