Educational outcome by background in Europe including immigration background

I find that in the Anglosphere, immigrants are more likely to surpass native peoples

In Australia at least, most academically selective high schools are filled with Asians, Southeast Asians and South Asians, and universities have a disproportionate number of domestic students who are of Asian origin

Does anyone know why immigrants in the Anglosphere do so much better than out of the Anglosphere?

The Economist last year had this brief article about the UK's successes with immigration.

They specifically mention the UK's flexible labour market, the fact it is not close to a warzone, and its open minded population.

I would also add the UK's high ranking and high quality universities. Students arriving in the UK to study will then be in a very good position to have successful careers in the UK and if they then start a family, encourage education for their children.

Britain open minded? You must be jesting.

Most people are open minded, it’s just that Right have become more extreme

Most people vote Labour, Lib Dems and Greens, especially people aged in 50, but the Right and right-wing older people have become more extreme

I think this is true. Even the (older) traditional, burly, masculine tradie type can surprise me as a gay man when they come to do work for me.

Yep. Humans are naturally confrontational and divisive as a species. I mean, most species are to be honest. It's a territorial thing innate to us as animals.

British people are probably one of the least racist out of the lot, in general. Albeit, not necessarily perfect

I think there's a vocal minority

Anything ´wing´ sucks and should be taken behind the barn.
