=How does racism affect the society today? =

=== Some people in England still holds on to their prejudices against black people, but racism have clearly declined from past levels. ===

Today, the United Kingdom is concidered as a multicultural society.
=== In 2004, the [|British Crime Survey] revealed a survey that shocked England. In the past year, over 87.000 people from black minority ethnic communities had been victims of a racially-motivated crime. They had experienced over 49.000 racist attacks, and at the same time 92.000 white (!) people revealed that they as well had been victims for racially-motivated crime. A shocking 77.000 white people had been victims for racist attacks. [1] === === Discrimination in the workplace has also evolved in the past years. More and more people with other ethnic backgrounds are being discriminated both at work and when they are applying for a job. There is actually a law in the United Kingdom that says that you can't be refused a job because of your gender, marriage or partnership, pregnancy, sexual orientation, disability, race, colour, ethnic background, nationality, age or religion or beliefs. But has it really gone so far that we need a law to prevent racism? I think it's good that we have this law, but it is really sad that the british need it! Say no to racism! [3] ===
