=item Education

The education of members of minority groups is insufficient. This is because of
language difficulties and cultural differences. Steps were taken to remedy
this situation, but the overall situation is still pretty bad. Making the
public aware of these problems is very important.

=item Employment

The average unemployment rate among ethnic minorities is more than double that
of whites. This is partly because in some cultures, girls are to remain in the
family and not to get ahead.

The situation gets better, luckily: Now many non-whites are in the catering
industry or the National Health Service, some are even Members of Parliament.

=item Housing

The housing situation for ethnic minorities is another big problem. In the 50s
and 60s, rentings for members of minorities were often not granted. Thus many
flats were shared by several families, leading to overcrowding.

Today, there are still inequalities, but partly due to discrimination-outlawing
laws, significant improvements have been made.

=item Police

Abuse of police power is a big problem; it is widely claimed that far more
blacks than white people are subject to suspicion. Luckily, the situation has
improved recently: There's a wide network of organisations helping groups to
ethnic groups live side by side. Large funds are raised to help these
organisations.
