《1948年英国国籍法》授予英联邦公民身份，赋予他们在英国定居的权利。成千上万的新联邦移民利用了该法。几乎立刻，反对者开始批评移民对健康的影响，重点是梅毒和淋病等疾病。与其他移民群体相比，来自加勒比海的英国黑人男子更容易卷入有关性病的辩论。本文探讨了卫生工作者和记者如何使用健康数据的方式，加强种族刻板印象，喂养白色偏见，并提出黑人男子作为最重要的性健康威胁在战后英国。
The British Nationality Act 1948 conferred citizenship on Commonwealth subjects, granting them the right to settle in Britain. Hundreds of thousands of New Commonwealth migrants made use of the Act. Almost immediately, opponents began criticizing the health impacts of immigration, focusing on diseases like syphilis and gonorrhoea. More than any other migrant group, Black British men from the Caribbean became implicated in debates over venereal disease. This article explores how health workers and journalists used health data in ways that reinforced racial stereotypes, fed white prejudices and presented Black men as the most significant sexual health threat in postwar Britain.
