A Point of View - Class, race and social mobility

Will Self reflects that racism is rarely a sole cause of social injustice but, alongside other problems such as poverty, it can put people at the bottom of the heap.

Will Self reflects that racism is rarely a sole cause of social injustice but alongside other problems such as poverty it can limit people's social mobility. "All too often pundits and policymakers seek a single cause for social stratification when they should accept that in a nation where inequality in real, monetary terms is increasing....the reasons for being at the bottom of the heap are manifold. It's not a case of class or family or education or money or race, it's a matter of of class, family, education, money AND race."

Producer: Sheila Cook Presenter Will Self.
