I hadn't given much thought to black/white/asian attitudes. I think it's because while racsim does exist in the UK, it's not such a major issue in the military. This is both historical and cultural since we did not have slavery in the UK (we had indentured servitude which made slaves out of white criminals) and in many of our Empire territories we relied heavily on native levies which, over time, created a sense of rspect for non-white fighting men. Even today we have a large number of non-white soldiers from commonwealth territories serving in the British armed forces (Fijians in the RLC and line regiments and the Royal Ghurka Rifles being two very good examples).
