Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
People have come to settle in Britain for centuries from many parts of the world. Some
came to avoid political or religious persecution, and others came to find a better way of life or
an escape from poverty. The Irish has long made home in Britain. Many Jewish refugees
started their new life in the country at the end of the nineteenth century. In 1930s and after the
World War II a large number of people from other European countries came to live there.
There also have been many people who came from some countries in Asia. According to the
results of a recent survey the non-white population of Great Britain was about 2.4 million,
4.5% the total population. Only half of them were born in Britain. Most of the non-white
refugees live in the poorest areas of the cities or in the countryside, where they can only get
the worst services and low living Standards. All they have to suffer is due to racial
discrimination. Although progress has undoubtedly made over the last twenty years in several
areas, life is not really better to many non-white refugees . However , with their effort, many
individuals have got success in their careers and in public life. The proportion of ethnic
minority workers in professional and managerial jobs has increased.
