The Historical Roots Of The Windrush Scandal concludes that the scandal was the culmination of three decades of racist immigration laws designed to reduce the UK's non-white population.
Every single piece of immigration or citizenship legislation was designed at least in part to reduce the number of people with Black or brown skin who were permitted to live and work in the UK.
The Windrush Scandal was caused by a failure to recognise that changes in immigration and citizenship law in Britain since 1948 had affected Black people in the UK differently.
The report emphasizes how deeply rooted racism is, showing that the experiences of Britain's Black communities with the law have been fundamentally different from those of white communities.
