There is no oppression, just no equal opportunities for all. However, a sufficiently motivated and able person can do well for themselves in the UK regardless of their background. They're just statistically unlikely to.
- _delirium 15y agoI don't know much about the UK job market; how does race-blindness compare to, say, continental Europe? From what I can tell here in Denmark, it's still harder to get hired if you have a Muslim- or African-sounding last name, even with good credentials, than with a Danish or at least European last name.

However I would imagine if you have better qualifications than the other candidates most of the time you'll get the job. I would say in the UK race and class both incur a noticeable handicap. Just not an overwhelming one.
