My parents migrated here in the 1950's/60's from Jamaica.
When they came to Britain they experienced racism, along with their fellow migrants, when trying to find accommodation and work.
I was born in the 70's and grew up making friends of all races, there didn't seem to be a problem amongst us, although I knew there was an element who would rather the "immigrants" were not here.
Now the EU is being opened up wider, I am begining to notice the landscape of the British workforce changing and it seems the new wave of Caucasian migrants are being embraced a lot easier, although the contempt shown towards the migrants of colour, and their offspring, still exists in the work place.
Does anyone else see this discrepency?
Are people of colour being tarnished by the London/New York Terror attacks?
What will it take for the "White" Britain to become more accepting of people of colour or is it the racism being imported from Europe that is setting us back 50 years?
