Dear colleagues,
This link leads to a document which you may find of interest:
http://www.instituteofideas.com/transcripts/policywatch4.pdf
It is a response to the Home Office's consultation paper, 'Strength in
Diversity', commissioned by the Institute of Ideas.
'As someone who is currently conducting academic research into
multiculturalism and who also grew up in Oldham, I have been concerned for
some time about the changing nature of race relations in the UK. My main
concerns focus on how policies designed to eliminate "institutional racism"
appear to have had the paradoxical effect of what I call "racialising social
experience", and over-sensitising people to the threat of "unwitting
prejudice...'
Your feedback on this would be very welcome.
Regards,
Munira Mirza
