The State of Race in 21st Century Britain

Race in 21st-century Britain is shaped by increased diversity due to migration and globalization, alongside ongoing challenges of inequality, discrimination, and social tensions. While laws promote equality, disparities in education, employment, and criminal justice persist for ethnic minorities. Public debates address identity and historical legacy, reflecting both progress and persistent divides. Overall, Britain is evolving as a multicultural society with opportunities for integration, but addressing entrenched racial inequalities remains essential for social cohesion.
