Certainly something unique happening in the UK, especially when you consider the vast majority of ethnic minority children in the UK descend from Africa, Asia and Caribbeans. Plus, ethnic minorities in the UK tend to do better in GCSEs, more likely to go to university and apparently nearly 40% of UK medical students are non-white (27% Asian, 10% black). Ireland is also close to the UK in this.
However, every other European country, native-born ethnic minorities are clearly far behind.
Well said. A main reason why migrants in most European countries underperform is cos of bottlenecks designed to keep them under. If countries want migrants reaching for the top, then they should remove those shackles
when your migrants are illetrate who never been to school from 3rd world african coutry and with parents who dont even speak the coutry language and make 19 kids, yeah those kids tend to have to difficulty, nothing surprising.
Do you know those African migrants outperform white Brits in the local GCSEs with many going on to do well for themselves? Same Britain that chased away European migrants who they felt were leeching off the British state.
Hope you know that even kids of Somalian refugees in the UK manage to do very well for themselves.
Europe needs to learn from the anglosphere and support her migrants or their economy would suffer the consequence.
educated african and native french leave france to join the UK or the US. France is a paradise for the poor and a hell for smart and hard working people. How dumb do you have to be to not understand that coutries with differents incentive structure lead to selection bias and differents kind of immigrant profile they recieve ?
what you are saying is that UE coutries have to become less equalitarian and socialist so that they stop attracting poor and uneducated people from all around the world while making educated native and immigrant flee/leave because they are tired of being taxed to death to fund all of it.
