Put British colonial history in our national curriculum (KS1,2,3 & 4).
Let it: a) include that many of the BAME who came here from colonies did so as citizens, not as immigrants. b) not trivialize the BAME contribution in WW1 & 2. c) Celebrate the anti-slavery efforts of William Wilberforce d) Highlight that much of the wealth that came to Britain was from colonies.
I believe the above will go some way towards reducing the grievances of BAME groups in this country. I also believe it will significantly help in community cohesion and preventing the growth of various kinds of extremism.
