Still haven't seen any examples from Troy Deeny of people who played a major part in UK history.
Strange that people keep complaining about the "racist" UK education system, when those from West Africa, Asian, and Chinese groups do well compared to Afro-Caribbean and even White British. The only group to perform worse than Afro-Caribbean children are those from Travellers groups, and they tend not to go to school in the first place. That proves that the problem isn't the education system, but the families themselves.

You can't compare the numbers of people from certain groups in certain jobs, if they're not achieving the required educational levels. You have to compare the %ages of those achieving any required educational levels and the desire to do a particular job, not the population levels.
