Black Britons of African origin beat whites in GCSE exams

Literally the first sentence in this thread shows that that's not true...

Source?


The HDI (human development index) measures the quality of life of every country on earth relative to each other. In 2014 the UK had the 14th best quality of life in the world, whereas South Africa wasn't even in the top 100.


I think it's pretty clear that South Africa is not "on a par with the UK for quality of life".

Also the concept of HDI was developed by western countries.

My bad. I saw a graph by the Economist and thought white people achieved the least but that isn't the case.

Nigerians are really clever in my experience.

You'd also be wrong

Well, i am only speaking from experience, some Africans had it hard and know how blessed they are to be in a country with free education in contrast to British born/breed whites who think they are too "cool" for school and end up bunking as well as smoking weed every now and then because they are on benefits and rely soley on that.

You need to check the date of the data properly, you Fob.
You need a recent example to prove your point preferrably 2014-15

African-born immigrants are known to be the most educated in the USA and have even higher average incomes than White, African-American, Asian-American and Hispanic-Americans in the USA. They are known as an "invisible model minority".

Anyone remember the Ghanian-American who got accepted to the whole Ivy League?

seychelles is a bunch of islands with a total population of 90,000...


GDP per capita of UK: $42,000; GDP per capita of Seychelles: $16,000.


UK has the 14th highest HDI (human development index - quality of life index) in the world with an HDI of 0.907, Seychelles are 64th with a HDI of 0.772.


So no, not 'comparable' (and this is without even mentioning levels of opportunity in each 'country'....).

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

Your offensive ignorance make me want to punch you in the throat.

But the UK is still better. In your own words, there was something worse back home. You lied. You lost.

Better for education, obviously

You must be some ignorant white bloke. I doubt you have even gone outside UK. And you honestly think UK is better than any other country. Wouldn't be surprised if you grew up in a council flat and that's the life you think is good. You haven't even been to any African country, stfu. Africa is not what you see on TV. "Donate 3 pounds. This child has no food, water and no where to sleep."

Stupid British people. You don't even care about your own country first. There are children here as well starving on the streets, living on drugs, who ran away from home. You're busy advertising for people back in Africa instead of working on your own country first.

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.

It offends me because it stereotypes Africa as 'poor' or I should be lucky to be in Britain to have these opportunities, not all African countries are places of famine or negativity.
