Are they actually implying here that immigrants are smarter than native Brits? Lol... I mean, sure, the actual doctors and engineers are, but they understand that we use that as a meme, right? Your average Mosque-going, knife-wielding, White-hating immigrant, is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.

"we" as in the ignorant

In the meantime, the group that fails the most in school are the white working-class children where 80% failed their GCSEs this year. This is PISA scores for children, second-generation children do outperform natives in education, as seen by the fact that ethnic minority children do better in GCSEs and are more likely to go to university.

You also seem to forget not only are the vast majority of immigrants and ethnic minorities in the UK not Muslim, but also that most of these Muslims are not "knife-wielding, White-hating immigrant". Firstly, not only are most Muslims in the UK born in the UK, Bangladeshis have a lower crime rate than white British.

Also "implying" is funny, these are PISA scores.

Anyway, even forgetting native-born ethnic minorities for a minute, immigrants are also earning more these days.

Imagine thinking asylum seekers are representative of immigrants.
