💨 Abstract

The EU-wide report "Europe's Original Sin" highlights the lasting impact of colonialism and slavery on racial disparities in European nations, particularly in education, employment, and financial services. The report notes that the economic growth of six former colonial powers (Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain) was facilitated by policies that excluded racialised groups and exploited resources and labor, leaving Black people without access to wealth.
