In the UK there is a class divide (linked mostly to wealth but not entirely). Everyone that is naturalised or was born here is considered British no matter what their race is (the same applies to the French IIRC). Yes unfortunately people are bringing race into our politics which is a shame tbh because it is considered rude to mention someone's race in anything other than maybe describing their physical appearance (for the purposes of identification).
If a student wants to go to University they are means tested which determines the amount of grants / loans they are entitled to. Race isn't a consideration only wealth (based on household income).
- BrandoElFollito 6y agoIn France wealth is secondary to the place you live in and where you come from (in terms of divisions in the nation). Of course if you have French nationality your "race" does not matter (there are no programs for minorities) but the reality is, also of course, different. Looking at the last 40 years, I wrote say that Islamism has become the greatest divider (for 10 or 20 years now). This was a non-subject when I was a kid in the 80's.
- uk_programmer 6y agoThe same is true in the UK there is a North / South divide that is historical, economic and cultural.
