A general query:
Until the various race relations acts and commonwealth immigration acts
Black Caribbean immigrants suffered various degrees of discrimination based
on their colour. Does any one know of any studies showing that White
Caribbean immigrants endured similar discrimination, not based on colour,
but place of birth? I am mainly thinking of the pre-interview stages for
general employment when employers sifted applications.
For example, did an employer when sifting two similar applications from two
people with the same qualifications and work experience select the person
from London over the one from Jamaica because he/she assumed that the one
from Jamaica was Black?
Thanks
