2. What kind of jobs did immigrants take?
3. What documents are there in Britain which makes it illegal to discriminate against people because of their race?
In Britain today there are about two million coloured citizens. They are mainly immigrants from Britains former colonies and their children who were born in Britain.
Immigrants started to enter Britain after 1950. They came because they couldnt find work in their own countries. They hoped to find a better way of life in their new home.
In Britain, they took the jobs which the native population did not want. The men took the hard and heavy jobs in industry, and the women took the low-paid jobs in factory canteens or restaurants.
Immigrants work on the buses, the underground and the railways, or as doctors and nurses in under-staffed hospitals.
Officially, immigrants and their children have the same rights as the natives of Britain. They all have British passports. Many of immigrants have been the victims of racial discrimination. Unemployment among coloured youth with a British education and qualifications, for example, is much higher than among white youth.
The British governments policy is that immigrants and their children should enjoy equality of opportunity in every possible way. There are lows which make it illegal to discriminate against people because of their race. Besides, there are government and private organizations which try to improve relations between the white and coloured populations.
