Ethnicity inequality

Question 1

A disproportionate amount of the black and minority ethnic group population can be found at the bottom of the stratification pyramid (Rex and Tomlinson)

Answer 1

The market and work situation
affects life chances, with 81%
White people employed and
55% Pakistani. BAME groups
form a separate underclass due to material disadvantages,deprivation,
hostility, racism, and marginalization. A structural
break in the 1950-60s forced them into disadvantaged housing classes and marginalized.

Question 2

Black and minority ethnic groups are more likely to hold lower positions within the marketplace
(Barron and Norris)

Answer 2

The dual labour market consists of the primary and secondarysectors,
with BAME individuals employed in the secondary market, while the
primary market is dominated
by White British, who maintain social closure, job application rejection, and limited promotion
opportunities.

Question 3

A person’s experience of inequality is influenced by the level of respect they receive from others (Parkin)

Answer 3

White, middle-class males hold power in the labor market, while other “negatively privileged” status
groups exercise social closure
by appointing white workers and restricting access to limited “eligibles.” BAME groups face discrimination, a concrete ceiling, and power struggles for material goods, using their power to maintain or challenge social rewards.

Question 4

Political parties and trade unions do not reflect the interests of ethnic minority groups (Weber)

Answer 4

Party formation reflects interests, while BAME voices are often overlooked in white-dominated
organizations. BLM fights racism and anti-black violence, while the Muslim Council of Britain empowers Muslim communities for
a just, cohesive, and successful
Britain.
