text: The report appears to be at a sufficient high level that it is difficult to pinpoint causes and solution. If government austerity is affecting minorities more, is that because minorities tend to be poorer, and austerity tends to hit the poor the hardest? 
  
  Also, the Canadian experience has people wondering about length of abode in the country. Are the minorities recent immigrants, or are they descendants of immigrants from the 1950s, when Britain allowed people from its former empire to immigrate? If the problem persists into the 3rd generation, that is a bigger problem than for recent immigrants. But then what is the class mobility in Britain? If it is low, maybe it is just that immigrants who start at the bottom don't see their children move up, like the native lower classes.
