Key findings
The tolerance towards different ethnic origins is high: 82 percent of respondents have no problem being treated by a Black dentist, 79% have no problem being treated by a Turkish doctor in hospital. These high tolerance-rates are also true for those older than 60 years. Howver, tolerance related to religion is the lowest recorded in the survey: 65% perceive it problematic if a family member would convert to Islam, 64% would have a problem with a Mosque in the neighbourhood but only 42% would have a problem with a Buddhist centre in the neighbourhood. Women are more tolerant than men, particularly men in occupational age are less tolerant than the average.
