The Government have released a 258 pages report that claims the UK "no longer" has a system that works against those of an ethnic minority background.The report referred to the UK as "a model for other white-majority countries".

The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities have claimed social class and family structure is more likely to have a negative effect on people as appose to race.

The report went on to say that children from minority ethnic communities were on par with white pupils in school when it came to grades and overall academic success, but admitted that overt racism existed online.The controversial report referred to the phrase "institutional racism" as being "too liberally used".

"We no longer see a Britain where the system is deliberately rigged against ethnic minorities"

Commission chair Dr Tony Sewell wrote: "Put simply we no longer see a Britain where the system is deliberately rigged against ethnic minorities"."The impediments and disparities do exist, they are varied, and ironically very few of them are to do with racism. Too often "racism" is the catch-all explanation, and can be implicitly accepted rather than explicitly examined".The report was commissioned by Boris Johnson last year in light of the protests that took place following the death of George Floyd. These protests fought for an end to systemic racism and police brutality against the black community.

The report acknowledged the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on ethnic minority communities in comparison to white communities, but also added: "Life expectancy or overall mortality shows that ethnic minorities do better overall than the white population and actually have better outcomes for many of the 25 leading causes of death,"The lengthy report also spoke about the school curriculum and spoke about how the experience of slavery is taught to pupils."There is a news story about the Caribbean experience which speaks to the slave period not only being about profit and suffering but how culturally African people transformed themselves into a re-modelled African/Britain".

This particular passage in the report received criticism from Labour's Shadow Equalities Minister, Marsha De Cordova who said:"The government must urgently explain how they came to publish content which glorifies the slave trade and immediately disassociate themselves with these remarks."British Solicitor, Nazir Afzal, who has also slammed the references to slavery in the report."As for the Race Report asking us to look for the positives in such things as Slavery, which is now the "Caribbean Experience," I have nothing but contempt"

David Lammy: "We Are Being Gaslighted"

MP David Lammy took to his Twitter to inform his followers that he is not currently partaking in media interviews and claimed to be "tired" of the lack of desire to address racism within the country."For my own mental well-being I am not doing media interviews on the race commission today. Like so many in Britain's Black community, I'm tired! Tired of the endless debate about whether structural racism exists with little desire to actually address it. We are being gaslighted"
