“Raise your hand if you DON’T experience racism on a daily basis.”I expected at least half of the audience to put their hands up. Days later a report revealed that racism has risen since the Brexit vote. Seventy-one per cent of ethnic minorities in Britain now report facing discrimination compared to 58% in January 2016, before the EU referendum. Racism has always bubbled away underneath the surface in Britain, but at least it felt things were getting better for BAME communities. I’m scared that things are going to get so much worse before there’s even a glimmer of it getting better.
