At our point in time multiculturalism is an inevitable reality, thus necessitating a thoughtful re-examination of ethnic- and cultural identities.
In the case of Britain, a nation with a rich tapestry of historical influences and a diverse populace, the concept of identity is undergoing a historical transformation.
The traditional notion of Britishness, often associated with a singular ethnic group particularly Caucasians from a British cultural heritage, is becoming increasingly outdated in terms of capturing the complexity of modern society.
As we are moving through the 21st century, the imperative lies not in preserving a homogenous identity, but rather in embracing a multicultural future that redefines and expands the very essence of what it means to be British today.
The real question is not when will be ready for a tolerant multicultural/multiethnic society, but how will we be made ready for a multicultural/multiethnic society in this new era of large-scale cultural globalization.

As mentioned in the above argument the absence of inclusiveness and acceptance from the majority white British society, has been causing problems for POC communities to interact with other ethnic groups primarily white communities7.
This ultimately leads to a trend of largely racial homogenous communities in society, potentially holding back and separating ethnic groups from interacting with each other8.
This is seen by the fact that more than half of POC people say that their career has been affected by their race9, this alarming statistic shows us the detrimental impact of racial bias on minority people's careers within a predominantly white society.
When individuals feel that their careers are affected by their race, this not only affects their economic well-being but also perpetuates that society has been divided between different ethnic groups.
Such discrimination in the workplace leads to the development of homogenous professional networks, where individuals from similar ethnic backgrounds support each other because they have the same experiences.
While these networks can be sources of strength and solidarity, they can also unintentionally contribute to a lack of diversity and integration within workplaces and industries.
However, the consequences caused by such problems extend beyond just the workplace.
