Racism and prejudice

Do different groups experience racism in different ways?

The debate around a hierarchy of racism was reignited this week when Labour MP Diane Abbott appeared on a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 podcast and discussed previous comments she'd made about racism.

She maintained there is a difference between racism based on skin colour and other kinds of racism. This sparked conversation around the different types of racism and prejudice faced by Black people, Jewish people, and Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller people. We look at the statistics and discuss the history of the anti-racism movement.
