The World : Racism in Britain Decried

A gloomy picture of racial discrimination in Britain was painted by the Commission for Racial Equality, 20 years after the introduction of legislation designed to eliminate it. The agency, in its annual report, said that discrimination in employment, housing and education continues against Britain’s 2 million black and Asian citizens. It said that while it was unreasonable to expect the problem to be solved in two decades, it is up to government agencies to hasten the pace of progress.
