However, this ignores the significant White minority ethnic groups living in the Britain, such as Jews, gypsies and Irish people.

• Ethnic minority groups in Britain are limited in shaping their self-identity because of the way they are seen and treated by powerful groups.
• Racial prejudice and discrimination by the main white population may make it difficult for ethnic minorities to fully express their cultural identity.
Do you agree with this?

What is ‘Institutional Racism’Inequality based on race within an organisation.
There has been evidence to show institutional racism in schools. It has been argued that white teachers cannot cope with the way Affrican-Caribbean boys express their identity at school and this is why they are the most likely to be excluded.
Police- Stephen Lawrence case showed institutional racism within the Met
police.- ‘Stop and Search’ Black youth are stopped much more than any other
ethnic group.Evidence has suggested this treatment has made black youth anti-
authority and anti-police

Differences between ethnic groups
One ethnic group does not cater for the majority.E.g. you cannot assume all Asians can fall under
the ethnic minority label of Asians.The Asian community is divided into Country,
Regions and Religion (sub-cultures)There can be hostility between members of the
same ethnicity. How might it affect your ability to express youself
fully if there is hostilty from your own minority group as well as the White British Majority?

Read page 481. What differences did Modood find amongst
members of the Asian community?2. What did Ghumann (1999) find in his study to
be the most influential factor in providing sub-cultural values to British Asian children?
3. Make a list of these key values. Are these norms the same across the majority of Asian cultures? What evidence is provided?
