11:54Now PlayingStill Here: On May 25th a reckoning with systemic racism was reignited. It's still here — and so are we.
A report from the UK Government, published in the wake of George Floyd's death, stated that institutional racism doesn't exist in the UK’s education, housing or health systems, and that people should look to find the positives in the country’s shameful history with slavery.
The report has caused outrage across the country. Not just among the public, but experts and academics, too – with some saying it could endanger people’s lives.
Josh Osbourne looks at the discrepancies within the report itself and how it's misleading findings came to be published in the first place.
