Race against time
Article Abstract:
Britain has a better track record than France or Germany in its handling of race relations. The Race Relations Act of 1976 ensured equal treatment of ethnic minorities by making discrimination in the job market, education and housing illegal. However, the recent increase in incidents of racial violence suggests a climate of racial injustice. Law enforcement officials are worried about the influence of the race riots in Germany and France. Efforts should be made to retain the spirit of harmony and avoid an atmosphere of racial hostility.
