​Ethnicity

Three areas that minority may face discrimination

• Education

• Employment

• Housing​

Reason: those who are in positions of power and authority hold prejudiced views​

Education

• teachers are likely to be from the majority group and may stereotype ethnic minority pupils as lazy or deviant (different)

• ​minority pupils may internalise these views and are then likely not to succeed in education

• the school may also have a curriculum that is based on the history and culture of the majority group​

Employment

• ethnic minorities may not be selected for interview if their name suggests they are from a minority group

• some are not invited for an interview even if they are the best candidate (perhaps they're told that they won't fit in)

• if given employment, they may find that they're not given opportunities to take training courses and do not get a promotion​

Housing

• local government has a stock of housing available for rent, ethnic minorities may find that the rules are against them, and are rarely offered housing

• in privately owned housing there can be informal segregation when members of minorities plan to move to a new are, which make the minorities feel that they're not welcome​

Open Ended

Using the video, describe how ethnicity affects one's education, employment or housing.

While there are laws against racial discrimination in education, employment and housing, it can be very hard to prove that what has happened is discrimination.
