This chapter explores the impact of American culture on the way race and racism are discussed in the UK. The speakers highlight the problem of using an American perspective to address racial issues in a British context, emphasizing the need to consider the unique experiences and complexities faced by ethnic minorities and white British people. The chapter also compares the historical backgrounds of black Americans and black British people, pointing out the differences in their experiences and the absence of institutionalized segregation in the UK.
