A UK charity says the government’s recent race report has ignored what it calls the brutal evidence of economic inequality.
The government report said institutional racism does not occur in the UK. It said the country should be regarded as a model for other white-majority nations. Now, Turn-two-Us Charity says the data it has complied show deep-rooted inequalities in UK society. It says ethnic minorities have suffered significantly greater economic hardship during the pandemic. The charity has provided statistics showing economic disparities between the minorities and the white British people. The group has urged the British government to not dismiss the reality of institutional racism and make meaningful change.
