RACIAL justice group Just Yorkshire has argued that a national report unfairly stigmatises ethnic minority communities for the so-called failure of integration.
Dame Louise Casey's year-long study concluded that measures are needed to tackle growing levels of "ethnic segregation" in some areas of the UK.
The report found there were areas struggling to cope with the pace and scale of changes faced as a result of immigration, highlighting large social and economic gaps between different ethnic groups
But Just Yorkshire's director Ratna Lachman (pictured) said the review failed to acknowledge the existence of white populist xenophobia and racism within British society.
She accused the Casey Review of lacking constructive solutions to what it says are the problems of integration.
And she said its view that integration could be promoted by people taking an oath of integration and teaching school children British values was "naïve and misconceived".
