Poor white boys get 'a worse start in life' says equality report

[Nick Young]

If you're white, male and poor enough to qualify for a free meal at school then you face the toughest challenge when starting out in life.

That's what the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has said in "the most comprehensive review ever carried out on progress towards greater equality in Britain".

The suggestion is because white male poor pupils do worse at school their chances of getting good jobs is reduced.

The EHRC, an organisation set up to get rid of discrimination, defines anyone who qualifies for a free school meal as poor.

1. Poor white boys got the worst results overall

2. White pupils in general did worse than all other race groups

3. Chinese pupils among boys and girls did the best

Each group did see improvements in their results over the five year period, but white boys saw the least improvements which suggests they are being left behind, according to the EHRC.

Here's another chart:

Again this shows students divided into race and gender groups but these are the results of students wealthy enough not to require free school meals.

No white boys left behind.

So, in Britain, moderately poor white kids are dumber than poor minorities and of those who are really poor (free lunch) they are about as dumb as their counterparts (except Asians)?

It would be easier to understand the situation if there were separate categories for native English and immigrants from other EU countries instead of counting all of them as "white".

That is certainly a racially insensitive and classist way to look at it, but essentially yes.

Sounds like young White boys in the UK forgot to unpack their invisible knapsacks (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K63M1oMjfgA) :facepalm

This report doesn't say anything, and certainly doesn't support whatever stupid white agenda you hope it does.

Plastering a "stupid white agenda" on me is a character assassination.

He built a straw man and then shot it down.

[Nanners]

nah "stupid white agenda" is actually a pretty nonbiased and accurate way of describing your useless twaddle

There is no need to resort to logical fallacies.

What is a "stupid white agenda" and how is Nick Young participating in one? :confusedshrug:

[stalkerforlife]

You don't want to be white in 2015.

Unless you're rich, hung, or good looking. Then maybe.

But the average white person is the most ostracized and hated person in America.

this isnt credible research at all :roll: they put "asians" and "chinese" as separate races. Thats some kind of sick joke right? I wouldnt be surprised if the "genius" who did these analytics mistakenly switched up blacks with whites, or even more so miscalculated something greatly.

So you're saying the Equality and Human Rights Commission isn't credible? Ok.

When British people say Asians, they mean Indians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, and Sri Lankans.

I don't know what their PC term for East Asians is, I guess it's Chinese. In UK, the National Union of Students, the most PC organization in the country, all non-white students are considered "black". The concept of putting labels on people is retarded. And the UK is retarded when it comes to putting labels on people.

It probably isnt, tbh.

Imagine this happening in America:

"What race are you?"
- White
- Black
- Hispanic
- Mexican

[warriorfan]

White people are the biggest whiners, by far.

Well, they do do it. For some reason, native Americans who speak Spanish are "Hispanics".
