Prejudice And Racism In The United Kingdom

They can also see if it has been progressing in a positive way or a negative way and if something needs to be done about it. This can also lead to the creation of different programs or laws that can help people who are troubled with this situation.
In the case of the United Kingdom, Cole (2015) states that racism is defined by the identity of the person, their ethnicity, race, nationality and religion they have. Cole (2015) stated that, in the school textbooks African people were racialized as aggressive and fierce, while the slaves of the Caribbean were seeing as lazy and were not able to advance or even work without some kind of intimidation. The Chinese people were also victims of racism in Britain, they were not able to live in the desirable
Andrews (2016), also discussed that according to British sociology, minorities of different ethnics have been known as outsiders that have been racialized. It is also mentioned that racism is an issue when race is able to be seen (Andrews, 2016). He goes on to say that while natives welcomed the European settlers, they in return had genocide, they were enslaved and were colonized by the Europeans (Andrews, 2016).

When the white British exclude the Muslims, this is sending the message to them that they are not welcome and that they do not belong.
