Report says factors such as family influence, socioeconomic background and religion more significant than racism
A landmark report on racial disparity has criticised the way the term “institutional racism” is used and says others factors, such as family influence, socioeconomic background and religion, have more “significant impact” on life chances than the existence of racism.
The report, which race equality campaigners have described as “deeply cynical”, marks a change in government policy, with the report stating its findings “present a new race agenda for the country”.
