JAKARTA - British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the results of a government review of racial inequality in domestic institutions on Thursday, April 1. As a result, the government concluded there was no longer institutional racism in Britain.

At the same time, Boris Johnson revealed that the government will work hard against racism in Britain. "I don't want to say that the government will completely agree with everything in it", Boris Johnson said, quoted by Reuters on Friday, April 2.

"But there is some original and good work in it, but I think people need to read and consider", he added.

"There is a very serious problem facing our society related to racism that we need to address we have, we have to do more to fix it and we need to understand the severity of the problem of racism", he said.

Even so, the public considers Boris Johnson's statements to be inconsistent. Because, his senior adviser, Samuel Kasumu resigned from his job.

Kasumu's resignation is believed by many media due to the unsatisfactory results of the government's review of racism in Britain.

However, the government later denied this. Kasumu's departure is considered to have absolutely no connection with the results of the review of racial inequality.

As proof, Boris Johnson himself has thanked Kasumu himself. Boris Johnson also said that during his tenure Kasumu had done a great job. Mainly in encouraging minority groups to have the COVID-19 vaccine.
