The second of ten films on ways of improving race relations. Crosstalk
How many people in teaching, social work, personnel departments, banks and hospitals, etc, are left with a sense of frustration or failure when dealing with Asians and West Indians as parents, clients or job candidates? The way English is used, as well as differences of culture, can make for misunderstandings. If not recognised as such, these can lead to irritation, or can reinforce prejudiced attitudes on both sides. This film analyses some of the commonest of these communication difficulties.
