UK, Ireland / Has racism towards Polish migrants increased in the UK since Brexit? [22]
@Awrite pal
The difference is that when Black migrants came to the UK in the late 1940's onwards they were not only coming from Commonwealth countries connected to the UK, they spoke the same language, had the same Queen, had the same educational system and did not claim any form of benefits. They came here and worked and took nothing out of the system. They did not apply for state housing, they did not apply for social security benefits, etc. Another problem is that you are conflating black people as if they are one homogeneous group. Would you like for Polish people to be equated with Russian or Germans?
Another fact I would like to point out (and I am not African) is that African migrants (from Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria and Egypt) are one of the most highly educated groups in both the UK and USA. People believe it is Asian people, but it is not.Google the 'invisible model minority' if you do not believe me. They are the group with the largest income out of minority.migrant groups. They often have more than one degree and they are highly educated so are not coming into the UK to work in low skilled or unskilled jobs.
The same applies to Indian migrants in this country - most are highly qualified and educated - That is the difference.
