European Network Against Racism (ENAR) said in its annual report that economic crisis incites racial discrimination. The report was published on the International Day Against Racism. Financial crisis incites racism, report says The most common victims of racism are African nations. General public believes that migrants and ethnic minorities have caused the high unemployment and poor working conditions at the time of the economic crisis, ENAR activists explained. Africans, Roma, Muslims and Jews are particularly vulnerable and members of these communities often face numerous obstacles in their attempt to find jobs. Some form of segregation exists in education systems of some countries, such as Austria and Spain, and ethnic minorities usually attend less quality schools, Belgian media have reported. Discrimination is also present in the judicial system. In Great Britain, for instance, black people are at least six times more likely to be stopped and searched than a white person, ENAR stressed in the report. In Belgium, ethnic minorities face numerous problems when they want to lease apartments. “Racism is a part of our reality. Politicians must convey the message that equal access to jobs, housing and schooling are crucial to build a prosperous and cohesive society - all the more so in an economic crisis. We cannot afford to leave whole sections of the population on the sidelines,” ENAR concluded. (file) Tanjug
