Black Britons of African origin beat whites in GCSE exams

FWIW, Asians (especially Singaporeans) are the most intelligent people I know.

mainly being really clever at being scam artists.

that's bc african parents will deport us if we fail XD

Imagine my mum said it's Cambridge or UNILAG for me

I knew someone immature would make this joke.

what is your point exactly?

What I think is relevant is how White Britons are being failed (either by the State or their families), and what can be done to remedy this. Noting the achievements of other ethnic groups is also positive.

Who said I was "joking"?

It's not a myth, There are a lot of Nigerians tribes that do internet scams.

The amount of pressure that is put on them by their parents and the government that sponsors them is crazy! I know a lot of people question the methods but honestly it's a system that works....



Of all the flavours you chose to be salty



Straight to the village to live with your gran if you fail

As an African this offends me, it implies I did well at GCSE English because 'there was something worse back home', that is not the case at all. My home country is perfectly fine. In fact I'd say the reason I did better than most English kids at GCSE English was probably due to my parent's attitudes towards education at a young age.

threre''s nothing offensive bro.

I'm not surprised, what I'm surprised is that white kids are only 3% behind. Asian and black families have a far better attitude to education, black and asian kids don't choose pointless subjects/degrees either. It's only ever white parents that tell their kids to go and chase after their 'dream' and that it's ok to do media studies at Southampton Solent. We have a lot to learn from other cultures in this respect.

Definitely to do with culture, not being intrinsically bright. If your parents have degrees and a mindset that is pro-education, you tend to do a lot better in exams because you are surrounded and obtain this mindset.

If your family worships Jeremy Kyle and is more than happy to live off benefits and only care that you attend school to keep social services off their case, then you are a lot less likely to do well because you've developed an anti-education mindset.

Its understandable, in the UK people(most white brits) just rely on benefits and don't even think about bettering their lives, whereas, Africans know what they are in for when the enter the UK, education back home is a struggle.

No it's not, otherwise you wouldn't be in the UK.
