Windrush 75 years on — the racism remains
Majority of black and Asian people still face discrimination everyday, report finds
Jamaican immigrants welcomed by RAF officials from the Colonial Office after the ex-troopship HMT 'Empire Windrush' landed them at Tilbury.

MORE than two-thirds of black and Asian people in Britain still face discrimination in their everyday lives, a major report marking the 75th Windrush anniversary has revealed today.

Ahead of the anniversary of the arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush on June 22, the British Future think tank surveyed the “state of the nation” of public attitudes on race identity and prejudice.

It found that while the majority of ethnic minority respondents said Britain is a better place for them to live in comparison with other major Western nations, a huge 67 per said that people like them face discrimination daily.
