While reading that my opinion of this changed like 3 or 4 times its crazy I don’t really know what to think.

My main thoughts are though that if working class white people are the lowest academic performers in the country then obviously it has to be some sort of demographic, and if it isn’t them it would be working class black boys which I think would be treated as far more of an outrage. I don’t know how far the margin or comparison is tbh or if its much but if someone did know that would be very helpful.

This is obviously a generalisation but I think a reason because of this is white males from lower backgrounds are less likely to have role models or as much motivation imposed upon them. Since children of colour are most likely to be the children of first or second generation immigrants, they are more likely to have parents or grandparents who worked very hard to get to this country and have a work ethic that they could influence on their children.

You think the working classes are disadvantaged because of a lack of work ethic?
So their inequality is self-inflicted?
