Notes

England is a country renowned for its cultural diversity and rich history, and one of the driving factors behind this diversity is the presence of various minority communities. These communities have contributed significantly to the nation's social, cultural, and economic structure. And the largest minorities include South Asian and Afro-Caribbean communities.
The Afro-Caribbean community include Jamaicans, Barbadians, Trinidadians..., but the Jamaicans have the biggest representation in England, there is about 800 000 Jamaicans in England and they make up 7% of the London´s population. So what was the reason behind their massive immigration to London? Well the first large wave of Jamaicans came after the second WW, these Jamaicans were recruited by British government to help rebuild the economy after the War. These arrivals came to be known as the Windrush generation. The word “immigration” didn’t have quite the same meaning, or didn’t carry the same weight. All of these people carried British passports because they were members of the British empire. How the years passed by the people, who initially just wanted to make some money and then go back to their homes, started to realize that it is not easy as they thought. Thats why most of the people who came for work never went back, the exact opposite happened and they were starting to settle in England. They had stable jobs and relatively good living conditions in comparison what they had in the Caribbean. This caused a lot of outrage and hatred towards them from the side of native British people. They started to perceive them differently. All this started a huge wave of racial discrimination which still continues to this day. Despite decades of progress in race relations, instances of racial profiling and stereotypes continue to affect Jamaican immigrants and their descendants. Even in recent years, a series of deportation scandals involving the Windrush Generation and their descendants have garnered significant attention. Many Jamaicans who had lived in the UK for decades were wrongly detained and, in some cases, deported due to documentation issues. These unjust actions have created a climate of fear and uncertainty within the Jamaican community.
