This interesting report of pre-Covid times, can be described succinctly, and the basic numbers are more striking than the official histogram.

The basic fact in this official report from the Office of National Statistics is that there is a massive financial transfer from white households to black households, and a lesser transfer to all other ethnic groups. Asians make a lesser but still significant contribution.

“White” encompasses White British; Irish; Gypsy or Irish Traveller; and White Other ethnic group categories.

“Asian” encompasses Indian; Bangladeshi; Pakistani; Chinese; and Asian Other ethnic group categories.

“Other” encompasses Arab and Other ethnic group categories.

“Mixed” encompasses White and Black Caribbean; White and Asian; White and Black African; and Other Mixed ethnic group categories.

“Ethnic Minorities” encompasses all ethnic groups that are not “White”.

“Black” encompasses Black Caribbean; Black African; and Black Other ethnic group categories.

For simplicity I have removed the Other and Mixed categories from my brief table.

Compare the “original” income (salary, dividends and all other incoming funds) and then look final income, after taxes and all the benefits received.

In the UK money is transferred heavily from Whites (and slightly from Asians) to give significant benefits to other Ethnic groups, and a massive benefit to Blacks.
