It most certainly is not the case for all ethnic minorities. It may seem that way but that is due to the way data is aggregated (the data on university admissions aggregates "Asian"...this is huge issue because Pakistani/Bangladeshi kids have very different outcomes).
White kids underperform because of the "rise of popularism"...lul. Fml. Tbh, that sounds a little racist (again, I remember 15 years ago when people were saying similar stuff about "black culture").
Nope. No wage gap (if you look at actual studies of this i.e. by the Low Wage Commission). There is a huge gap for some ethnic minorities but not blacks (either British or migrants).
As said, you have proved every point I made. Thanks.
It’s also important to note that although black children are more likely to go to university they are also 2.5 times more likely to be unemployed on comparison to their equally qualified white counterparts which indicates institutional racism. If as you suggest we avoid the topic of race solutions for issues like this will never appear.
Lastly, there is a huge black wage gap in the UK £3.2bn according to reports.
Speaking as a British black male I can say that race issues in the US and the UK aren’t as different as you make out and in a lot of ways the US is miles ahead in confronting the problem openly in contrast to the UK approach where people would rather sweep the whole issue under the carpet as you have so neatly illustrated.
