One of Scotland’s most prominent lawyers says racism is endemic in our society.
Aamer Anwar was reacting to new research published this week showing that ethnic and religious minorities in the UK were still suffering “strikingly high” levels of abuse, discrimination and even physical violence.
He said: “This doesn’t come as any surprise. Racism still exists. It’s endemic, it’s institutional, it’s overt, it’s covert. People are already pointing to Humza Yousaf and saying Scotland has an Asian First Minister, the glass ceiling is smashed, but it’s not true.
