    • Similarities between minority and majority population
      • lower numbers of older minority people due to changes in migration patterns
        • immigration has increased due to more globalisation
    • Participation and achievement levels differ between ethnic groups
      • Indian, Chinese, White, Asian and Irish pupils are more likely to gain 5 A*
      • Likelihood of being NEET (not in education, employment or training) heavily relies on parents attitudes to education
      • 23% of Gypsy' achieve 5 A*-C grades
      • Ethnicity goes hand in hand meaning more ethnic minority students eligible for free school meals
        • Free School Meals are for lower class students
    • Clear employment differences: men paid more across all ethnicities except Bangladeshi
      • Indian men are paid the most out of all ethnicities
    • Racism is not allowing non-whites to enter a certain job.
      • Institutional racism is only recognising qualifications gained in the UK
    • Dorling (2011)
      • A lot of problems with racism and immigration are more to do with skin colour rather than immigrant status
      • Nearly everyone will have a great or great great grandparent who was a immigrant
      • Due to anti-immigration laws since 1960s, most current inflows are from the EU and most non-white minorities are UK born, not immigrants at all
    • Rex & Tomlinson
      • Ethnic minorities face both status and class inequality leading to poverty, which is also fuelled by racism
        • An alienated, marginalised black underclass has been created
    • Modood talks about cultural racism
      • Colour, class and culture are 3 distinct dimensions of race
        • the further away a non-conformist is from the white, middle class, British, the greater their exclusion
