The Past and Present Treatment of Ethnic Minorities in Britain

The UK has always been well known for its good lifestyle status such as high paid jobs, high standard in education and healthcare, compared with other EU countries. However, with the financial crisis that took place in 2008. Living in an area where immigration is at high levels, made me wonder what makes them leave their homes to live in the UK. I came across an article about the UK financial crisis and how we are coping till now 2015 (Ficenec, 2015) and it made me think the UK was affected in many ways from recession to fiscal effects such as government funding the public sector. When asked to think about a topic that most interests us I thought about my area and the immigration level , while reading literature and projects already carried

For p4 I am going to explain how national initiatives promote anti-discriminatory practice. I am going to cover

Racial profiling has become a highly debatable law enforcement practice over the last two decades. There has been an overwhelming increase of reported instances in which law enforcement personnel have been accused of targeting certain minority groups. This has casted a luminous spotlight on racial profiling, as well as increased tensions between law enforcement and citizens. "Two black America 's" by the Wilson Quarterly reported that New York City police stopped nearly 700,000 people, with 85% of them being either Hispanic or Black. Similar to America, other countries are also having problems with racial profiling such as France and the United Kingdom. Activists in the states describe profiling directed towards a variety of non-whites such as African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics. But in Europe, the spectrum is pointed toward "Muslim looking people." Although racial profiling has never been this bad, my question is will we ever really have a colorblind world?

Canada has always been recognized as a multicultural country with a diversity of ethnic groups. According to the 2006 census (Statistics Canada, 2006), there was a total of 1,109,980 new immigrants arriving Canada from various countries between 2001 and 2006. The Multiculturalism Act (1988) is adopted to encourage ethnic groups to preserve their own languages and cultural heritages while integrating into the Canadian culture (Minster of Justice, 1984). Despite that, constant barriers remain in immigrants’ experiences of acculturation. Newcomers who failed to acculturate into the host country may experience social exclusion, which could result in a reduction in their health statuses. Although recent immigrants are often healthier than the general Canadian population, their health status tend to converge to the Canadian-born population with increased length of residence; for instance, statistics revealed worsening immigrant health in chronic conditions like diabetes and tuberculosis (Statistics Canada, 2002). This is referred as the “healthy immigrant effect”. Immigrants’ initial healthy status is explained by self-selection reasons, and screenings that are regulated by the Immigration Act (Statistics Canada, 2002). However, it is more crucial to understand the reasons for their deterioration in health over time. In this paper, we will explore a framework that explains the pathway between social exclusion, an important social determinant of health, and the deterioration in the

INTO: The Immigration Restriction Act of 1901 led to the limitation of non-European migration, which became known as White Australian Policy .In 1901, 98% of people in Australia were white. Australia wanted to remain a country of white people who lived by British customs. The essay aims at analyzing the racism of people in society are all different in many ways such as having a different skin color, different races, height, short, hair and religion. The report will be divided into six topic sentences which they are what racism is, why are people racist, where does racism come from, who experiences racism and what can be done to fight racism. And it will also explain the causes and effects of Racism.

Minorities are an endangered species. Not only are they targeted by the police, but are also subject to ridicule and misrepresentation in the media. Back when racism was above the surface, when raping, killing and lynching of blacks was a Sunday afternoon activity, is where we start to see the systematic oppression of minorities in the media. White males would paint their faces black, and exaggerate facial features such as the lips and nose, and mock the black community. Even in today’s society, we have sports teams called the Chiefs and Indians, which Native Americans have made clear are offensive to their history and culture, yet no changes have been made. Many people turn a blind eye to the fact that minorities are targeted by the media and it is not always obvious. To be able to spot some of the inequality in the media, one has to really be aware, and analyze how different races are being portrayed.

Prejudice comes in different shapes and sizes, so treatment of culture minorities differed with the circumstances.

The positive result of the affinitive action legislation allows minorities that have suffered from centuries of oppression due to slaver chance to get head (GGB, 2015). Disadvantaged

It has been argued that the labour market position and employment status of minority ethnic groups are significant to understanding the different experiences they face and the extent to which institutional racism can severely affect their life chances.

Have you ever given mind to why it is important for us as human beings to protect one another and to share the same rights we have. Furthermore, receiving fair share of pay in jobs or labor from working the same hours as to a white or black person. Finally, to feel that as human beings that have the right to live away of their countries without being segregated, discriminated or even ignored from public needs. Well, in this paper I will talk about the whole process of the discrimination and some of my personal experiences with the topic.

Whilst hate crime has been represented in the media and legislation for many years, particularly in the US, definitions of the term have been transient and changing. The Home Office issued a report in 2013 which demonstrated to both the public and law enforcement officials the most recent formal definition of ‘hate crime’ in the United Kingdom: “any criminal offence which is perceived, by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by a hostility or prejudice towards someone based on a personal characteristic” (Home Office, 2013). Reviewing statistics on hate crime in the United Kingdom, it becomes clear that there are two main official sources for data; the Crime Survey for England and Wales, and crime recorded by the police. Based on combined data from the CSEW 2011/12 and 2012/13, there was an estimated 278,000 hate crimes taken place on average each year (Home Office, 2013). However, when compared with the data shown by police recorded crime, there are huge disparities. Between 2012/13, only 42,236 incidents of hate crime were recorded by police, which accounts for approximately 1% of all recorded crime (Home Office, 2013).

The Necessity of Race Legislation in Britain in the Years 1962 - 1990 Britain is a nation of immigrants, which had arrived as early as prehistoric times. However the most recent influx of immigrants arrived after the Second World War. These newcomers came mainly from the Commonwealth with the majority of them coming from the West Indies and the Indian sub continent. At this time, before the Race Legislation was introduced all these people had 'right of entry' which meant they were all free to enter the United Kingdom.

Citizens of this country, especially minorities, have not always been treated with rights grant to

Good morning everyone. Today, I am going to talk about the Acceptance of the minority group of people in late 18th and early 19th centuries. For this topic, I will be focusing on three main groups of people: European immigrants (German, Irish and Scottish), African Americans and Native Americans.
