"But is Spain more or less racist than any other western European country? Probably not, but the country's record has been largely untested until the past 10 years, when a country accustomed to producing emigrants transformed into a wealthy beacon for immigrants.
Some 7.2 per cent of Spain's 42 million population are now immigrants, and Spaniards regard immigration as the third most pressing problem after unemployment and terrorism. In repeated surveys, Spaniards have shown that the ethnic types they are most wary of are gipsies, followed by North Africans.
In 2000, there were three days of racist attacks in the southern Spanish town of El Ejido, which left up to 50 immigrant workers injured."
