S.9 Equality Act:
“Race includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origin”
‘ethnic origin’-widens meaning of racial group.
Mandla v Dowell Lee: Sikhs held to be a racial group as they fell under definition of ethnic group.
Two elements to be classed as a race:
· A long shared history of which the group is conscious
· A cultural tradition of its own including family and social customs.
