A long-awaited report has revealed that Britain's immigration laws, spanning decades, were designed to reduce the number of non-white people in the country.
The report highlights how these policies led to the wrongful detention and deportation of Caribbean migrants, known as the Windrush generation. The findings point to deep-rooted racism within government immigration policies, which prioritized reducing minority populations over addressing discrimination.
The scandal has sparked widespread criticism of the UK government's handling of immigration and its failure to protect the rights of Black citizens.

This is absolutely infuriating, but sadly not surprising. The Windrush scandal is just another example of how deeply embedded racism is in the UK's institutions. These policies were deliberately designed to hurt Black and brown communities, and the government needs to be held accountable. We need real immigration reform that protects people’s rights, not perpetuates racist agendas.
