Any modern social history text that describes social structures should be sufficient. Social power doesn't shift as quickly as we'd like to think it does and so any historical inequalities are bound to have impacts in present day society. I think the burden of proof is on you to show that past inequalities have been repaired as effectively as you claim they have. The magic formula for social transformation simply doesn't exist.

If you do not have examples then it is obviously much less evident than you claim. "Social power" does not imply structural prejudice. Likewise, any past inequalities that still have effects today do not imply structural issues today. Again, I disagree that there are structures in the UK that perpetuate racial inequalities. There are social constructs that tend to perpetuates social inequalities but there are not based on race.
