Whether or not it's racist, it's just the wrong interpretation. Culturally certain groups work really hard in education. Doesn't mean they are intrinsically more clever. Certain other groups don't.

so, are we allowed to describe some groups as super-hard-working ? and other groups as all a bunch of lazy feckers ? brains or effort ? Starsky or Hutch ?
so the Chinese kids doing excellently at school must all be part of some kind of a conspiracy then ?

Next one to make personal comments rather than a response to the topic gets a card! You have all been warned.

Jacinda Ahern resigns, the BBC has said there will be a day of national mourning in the UK I liked this comment I'm surprised it got passed the central committee at the BBC. "Reaction to her announcement has been varied. One local from her own Auckland electorate told the NZ Herald Ms Ardern was "running away before getting thrown out", blaming her for increased crime and rising living costs."

I don’t feel glee. Quite the opposite. I am aligned with Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia through historic work. We do, however, need to face facts. Especially as we chose to accelerate our loss of economy and influence. And yet, despite our largely service industry economy suffering more than many during COVID, we have recovered more quickly than our competitors in Europe. So much for Brexit being a disadvantage. Another lefty remainer myth.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |
