Yes - and yet there is <i>still</i> a range of educational outcomes, from excellent to abysmal. The country has a more generous welfare regime than when I was growing up, but AFAIK this hasn't substantially altered the educational landscape.<p>So your argument that poor educational outcomes can be attributed to inverted racism doesn't stand up. It may well be a factor, but you appear to be arguing that poor non-white kids with a bad attitude are primarily responsible for dragging down overall results, and I don't agree.
