The Runnymede Report’s evidence was concentrated on South Asian locales

Evidence

The report further exacerbates the situation by heavily focusing on high South Asian heritage Muslim percentage population locales, where Bradford accounts for nearly a third of all examples. Aside from the anomalous case study on Chichester, the evidence employed is therefore undeniably weighted towards those of South Asian heritage. An interesting observation is that ‘Black Muslims’ – indigenous converts of African-Caribbean heritage – are mentioned only twice whilst ‘white Muslims’ – indigenous converts of white, British or Irish descent – are completely overlooked. — Chris Allen, Islamophobia, 311
