Discrimination at Cambridge Uni

Henderson | 17.02.2003 15:11 | Cambridge

A study of Cambridge degree results has shown black students seriously under performing. Positive discrimination must be at work for them to have got in in the first place.

under performing.

Firsts Thirds

Blacks 3.1% 15.6%
Whites 21.0% 2.4%
Indians 23.7% N/A
Chinese 17.9% N/A

Details from Daily Telegraph 16 2 03

The gross under-performance of blacks will come as no surprise to those
with a knowledge of racial group IQ differences where blacks even in the
West score an average IQ of 85.

One does not need to be a genious to work out that blacks are not as
mentally active as browns, whites and asiatics, just look first at how their
societies developed over the millenia, blacks have been around the longest
by far, yet have progressed the least, then coming to the modern times , say
the last 300 years and look at the amount of discoveries, inventions,
medicines, scientific breakthroughs, industrial advances, etc etc and look
how many were done by whites and how many were done by blacks.


Of course, there are blacks with high IQs, but not that many. The poor
performance of blacks at Cambridge, which is supposedly the most
difficult of universities to gain entrance to must mean that "positive"
discrimination is operating on a large scale.
