You'll likely be depressingly unsurprised by the indication that decisions by the DWP on benefits sanctions looked to be shaped by institutional racism.
Once again, while we may claim (often rightly) to be a multicultural society, our governing institutions seem unable to address issues without some from of ethnic bias...
I wonder why that is?
Could it be, a history of racism that goes back centuries is well embedded & needs more work to root out!?
