Race report 'doesn't reflect the lives of minority Britons'
Social commentator and campaigner Patrick Vernon says attitudes towards race haven't changed since the 60s.
Speaking to Victoria Derbyshire about a report released on Wednesday he said that the UK "should be regarded as a model for other white-majority countries".
The Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities found social class and family structure had a bigger impact than race on how people's lives turned out.
But Mr Vernon argued that the report fails to reflect the true experiences of black people in the UK.
