Global/Africa: Europeans grow more intolerant of immigrants-study

Europeans are becoming more intolerant of immigrants and one in five want them sent home, a study released by the European Union racism watchdog showed. The study, based on pan-EU opinion surveys between 1997 and 2003, found a significant increase in support for the view that there were limits to a so-called multicultural society. There was also a significant increase in the minority of people who supported repatriating immigrants, to 20 percent, the study said, without providing the scale of either increase.
