My grandfather worked on the docks and my father went to school in the East End during and just after WW1. Many of his classmates were Jews - the children of the Jewish immigration of the 1890s. My father said that no quarter was given to the Jewish kids by the teachers - it was sink or swim: lessons were in English and the Jewish kids were expected to learn in English whatever language they might speak at home.<BR/><BR/>My father said that as far as he was concerned the indigenous boys were not disadvantaged or held back by this. The Jewish boys were both diligent and intelligent: moreover, their parents were desperate for their children to do well and get on - there were no social security hand-outs then - you survived by your own efforts. Result: that generation of Jews and their indigenous contemporaries (including, I'm glad to say, my father) did "get on" and left for more salubrious places to live and work. The contribution of those Jewish children to this country (both materially and intellectually) has been unsurpassed. (The same can, I think, probably be said of the children of the Ugandan refugees from Idi Amin.)<BR/><BR/>In order to succeed in the then English education system the Jewish (and other minority) children did not apparently require that their indigenous colleagues be subject to discrimination or ethnic bullying encouraged by local authorities or the Ministry of Education. Of course, the education system then was exactly what it purported to be - an <B>education</B> system: not an engine for social experimentation and spurious multi-culti ethnic "advancement".The Sage of Muswell Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680974656418752948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153021073295963928.post-62305098499926094692007-12-30T13:35:00.000+00:002007-12-30T13:35:00.000+00:00More generally, I wonder why there is this especia...<I>More generally, I wonder why there is this especial focus on non-whites...</I><BR/><BR/>Non-whites are a means to the end of destroying the old order and putting communists like Phillips in power. It was much easier in Rhodesia and SA because whites were a minority there. Here, with a white majority, it's taking a bit longer, but the aim is the same. And the aim is certainly not racial equality or improving the lot of the oppressed.
