British racism against Muslims replaced biological racism against Afro-Caribbeans with cultural discrimination.
Evidence
In Britain, there has been a shift from, for example, a quite virulently racist mainstream discourse in the 1970s and 1980s, based on biological racism, about Afro-Caribbean youth as agents of crime and moral corruption to a cultural discrimination against Muslims based on their perceived “alien” practices. — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 64
