What is diversity? • Diversity: Are the range of human differences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, social class, physical ability or attributes, religious or ethical values system, national origin, and political beliefs (attributes). • Social Divisions: The dividing groups in society.

  7. But why is there a confusion over Race and ethnicity?? • A bit of history: Colonisation for wealth and cheap labour force

  8. Labour force • Started with slavery: Physical characteristics were used to distinguish between social groups- led to term ‘ Race’ • Was highlighted again after the world wars and whereby a manual labour force was needed as women were encouraged to have babies – Mass immigration • ‘Race’ grouping table- started with 4

  9. However… • Jobs tended to be: • Low paid- better for owners • ‘dirty industrial’ jobs • Manual • Whilst majority group became socially mobile • low paid jobs led to most new migrants residing in poorer areas, having poorer education, worse health etc.

  10. Identity • group identity and perceived behaviours began to be associated with certain groups. Some were already there from Slavery. • We have recently witnessed this with Muslims

  11. The change to ethnicity 1991 • From 1971 onwards, it became unsatisfactory to label people in terms of ‘race’ as new generations were being born which were British. • Hence needed to establish a more CULTURAL definition • For example- British but lives in a Indian Culture

  12. The groups were: • White • Black – Caribbean • Black-African • Black –Other (please specify) • Bangladeshi • Pakistani • Indian • Chinese • Any other ethnic group. • Q: anything wrong with the above classifications?
