Race Relations Act
In 1965, legislation was introduced to define relations between different races in the United Kingdom. The Race Relations Act was updated in 1968, and again in 1976, and once more in the year 2000 with the Race Relations Amendment Act 2000.
The Race Relations laws have since been incorporated in the Equality Act 2010.
As around 98% of immigration to Britain is centred in England, the Race Laws mostly affect England.
Before the advent of the Race Laws, people in England did not know that the colour of our skin would become relevant in legislation. We never had an issue owing to the colour of our skin. We needed no legislation that placed the spotlight on our skin's colour.
"Male, Pale and Stale"
A former member of the Black Police Association described the MET (Metropolitan Police of Greater London) as coming across as "male, pale and stale".
And Sadiq Khan, shortly before becoming Mayor of London, announced he was prepared to campaign for a change in the law to reduce the number of ethnically English people who can join the local Police Force in London.
In an article dated 24 July 2015, the Independent states that Sadiq Khan will call for affirmative action to change the status of the London Police Force, even to the point of calling for legislation "introducing quotas to alter the RACIAL balance of the force".
As we can see, England is particularly affected by the Race Laws, much more than any of the other constituent countries of the Union, and the implications of these laws are stacked against the indigenous folk.
So long as these Race Laws exist in England, the introduction of law-enforced race quotas is always going to be among us and it will always be in a polemical manner. The indigenous people are going to be confronted year on year with an ever dwindling percentage of Race Quota work opportunities, and we will each and every time be made to feel guilty about it.
