Scots?

People from ethnic minority backgrounds in Scotland are still being held back by workplace discrimination, according to a report by a committee of MSPs, the Equal Opportunities Committee following a six-month investigation. The report said ethnic minorities largely performed better academically than white Scots. But they were more likely to be unemployed or in low-paid work, and were under-represented in senior management roles. It found that there were "significant barriers facing people from ethnic minorities in gaining employment and developing a career". This was despite 40 years of legislation and equality policies.
