 This article is a summary of a segment of Panorama. Panorama is known to be the longest running current affairs documentary series in the world. This series focuses on investigative journalism. Most of the segments of the show are about common world issues. The show addresses many of the issues through undercover work (such as this particular one) and strives to show viewers what people around them are facing. BBC has been a trusted name in news for years, and one of less party affiliated news broadcasting companies. In this article the show describes and interviews two teens who left their racially diverse high schools to work undercover at a housing estate in Bristol (a city approximately 100 miles from London). The article has excerpts from the TV show that explains the hatred and disgust they were shown while working at the housing estate. The scope of this segment is limited to racial discrimination in Britain, not addressing the rest of the world. The article also only addresses racial discrimination of the Muslim population, not branching off to Mexicans, or Chinese. This article does not describe the possible racial discrimination that the people discriminating on these two Muslim. The article fails to address the possibility that the discriminators felt a sense of discrimination from the Muslim population as well, giving this article a bias. This book was written by Stanley Wolpert who is currently a professor at the University of California, who specializes in the history of India and Pakistan. He has written and co-edited numerous papers on India and Pakistan. This particular section of the book explains the racial divide between the British and the Indians during a time of war. He shows how both sides reacted to the outcome of war, pitting each other against each other, and overall creating a racial divide between these two group of people. He also explains how the White Man's Burden effected the British soldiers and how their anger and aggression related to the Indian people. The scope of these two pages of the book he only describes the relationship between two groups of people, leaving the relationship between these two groups and the rest of the world.
