Managing Diversity
Race and ethnicity

Ethnic diversity

For historical reasons, most countries have populations of different ethnic origins. Typically these are highlighted by colour or religious differences. Few countries have true equality between these groups. Stelcner (2000) reviews considerable disparities between incomes earned by 'visible minorities' and aboriginals in Canada in comparison with the white population. Carmichael and Woods (2000) confirm that black, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi workers in the UK are disadvantaged relative to whites, experiencing higher rates of unemployment and tending to be under-represented in higher-paid, non-manual occupations. Elvira and Zatzick (2002) found that whites are less likely to be laid off than African-Americans or Hispanics. (...)

Myth and the Baby Boomer Diversity has not produced equality, with the same differences of income based on race, ethnicity and country of birth as those born in earlier periods.

Black and Asian workers suffer wage discrimination

Racism

Racism is usually equated with hostility and prejudice (...) the perception of racism as obvious prejudicial opinions and attitudes obscures subtler, more insidious forms of discrimination.

Racism - excerpt from Human Resource Management in a Business Context focusing on institutional racism.
