THE COULOUR OF MONEY:

  • the launch of the guide to ethbic minorities.
  • diversity-word to identigy political correctness and some positive discrimination.
  • 2001 census: 50% growth of ethnic minorities, compared to the census of 1991
  • however white communities seem to drop
  • ethnic minorities mainly British-Asians are seen as hardworking, asporitional, and economically powerful (2nd and 3rd generations are from this type of category and are also proud of their culture)
  • key facts: 72% of south-Asians pay TV-HOMES,but only 39% of the U.K population.
  • 74% have mobile phones compared to 69%
  • 70% own computer compared to 57%
  • 57% have internet compared to 47%
  • 46% own a DVD player compared to 30%
  • in the past decade there has been an enormous growth in ethnic minority media
  • asians and black people are turned into mainstream media, they watch media which is targeted at them and which represent their culture.
  • because of the change of british consumers in the media, Britain is now seen as a multicultural city, so if there is the the pink pound and grey pound, there must be the brown pound.
