Summary:Twelve to 15‐year‐olds (N = 1,100) from majority and minority ethnic backgrounds, living in an ethnically diverse area in the UK, read a hypothetical scenario about verbal racism in school and indicated their bystander responses (prosocial, aggressive, and passive). Findings showed that age, ethnicity, cross‐group friendships, and ethnic socialisation predicted their bystander responses.
