But, what can you do now? Ban all the faith schools and mosques in the UK?
Ban faith schools, yes, but not mosques.
I agree with much of the rest of your post though. The racism, though it rears its ugly head from time to time, is nothing like as bad as it was in the '70s, but in those days it got so bad that minorities became isolated. This continues today as a kind of cultural memory.
