Racism in the United Kingdom
Racism in the United Kingdom has existed since the very creation of the united Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707. It has included structural discrimination and hostile attitudes against various ethnic minorities. The extent and the targets have varied over time. It has resulted in cases of discrimination, riots, racially motivated murders and de facto segregation. Among the populations targeted historically and today have been Jews, who have experienced antisemitism for centuries; Irish people and other subsequent subjects of British colonialism, black people, Romani people, migrants, and refugees. Some studies suggest Brexit led to a rise in racist incidents and hostility to foreigners or immigrants, adversely affecting Poles, Romanians and other European groups. Levels of racist attitudes have increased in recent decades, and structural disadvantages persist and hate incidents continue.
