Racism - It Ain't What It Used To Be
In June 2006 Channel 4 Television held a debate exploring how racism has changed over the past 30 years and how new patterns of immigration, the current political climate, 9/11 and 7/7 terrorist attacks, have affected racism in the UK.
The debate was chaired by Jon Ronson journalist and broadcaster, and panellists were Shahid Malik - MP Dewsbury, Hannah Pool - journalist, Karen Chouhan - chief executive 1990 Trust and Rajesh Thind - writer and film-maker.
