Summary:Catney discusses the increasing ethnic diversity in the UK. She reflects on the possibility that it will lead UK to become more segregated. The growth of ethnic diversity has gone hand-in-hand with policy, political and public assumptions about integration: that greater ethnic diversity equates with higher levels of ethnic segregation, and that racialized minorities do not want to integrate. Moreover, the increasing ethnic diversity in the country is celebrated in multiple aspects of the society including popular culture, sport and the media.
