And today, with all information at our fingertips at all times, people still believe this to be true. Through class discussions and being able to…

“Race is the differences in human physical characteristics used to categorize large numbers of individuals.” (Giddens 2017: 286). Racial diversity appeared among our human ancestors as the result of living in different geographic regions of the world.

Race relations in Britain definitely improved in the years 1948 to 1997, due to many reasons, such as legislation and improved understanding of other races over time. However, there were still racial tensions and issues in Britain by 1997, such as discrimination in employment.

In 1948 there was mass immigration from the Caribbean due to…
