What I don't understand is, why?

What was the point of a rally like this, in a country where probably 95% 
of the population agree with the protesters? London is one of the most 
cosmopolitan places I know, and racial prejudice is almost nonexistent, 
as far as I'm aware. I was just mentioning to someone yesterday that an 
everyday sight here - a group of people walking down the street, 
consisting of white, black, brown, you-name-it, individuals, of 
miscellaneous ages and sexes - would be very rare or even almost 
impossible in certain places in America. She wasn't sure if I was 
serious or not. We routinely see every combination of types of people 
you could think of. I've never, ever, seen anyone discriminated against 
on the basis of their skin colour here.

So I don't understand the need, or the point, of such a rally in London. 
They are hardly going to change anyone's mind, or introduce a startling 
new viewpoint, as everyone here already agrees with them.
