Britain needs an “honest conversation” about its history and systemic racism. Jason Arday - a Professor of Sociology at Cambridge - reacts to a report that has found the UK is “not close” to being racially just.
That is the damning conclusion of a new report that claims to be the most comprehensive review of racial inequality here in decades.
A team of researchers from across the UK surveyed more than 14-thousand people from across 21 ethnic groups, and found 35% of respondents from minority backgrounds had experienced some form of racist assault – either physical or verbal. That was far higher for those from groups including Jewish and some Black backgrounds and higher still for Traveller people – 62% of whom were found to have been racially assaulted.
29% of people from ethnic minority backgrounds reported racial discrimination in both education and employment.
