No, these respondents, we are told by a new British Council study, are America's young 'high achievers', the coming royalty of commerce. They think David Beckham plays 'hockey', and fewer than 5 per cent of them will ever want to visit us.

There's another thread on this study. Buried way down in the text is the fact that the respondents are all "people of color" and have no ethnic or cultural ties in their family histories to Britain or Europe (except as victims of colonization). Talk about slanted data.

Garbage in, garbage out, and it leaves a bad smell on your breath when you throw it up all over the printed page.

Yeah, that little tidbit wasn't mentioned. This wasn't just a survey of young American "high-achievers". It was a survey specifically of black and Hispanic high-achieving high school students in, I believe, 3 or 4 states. I think California was one.

Not exactly a broad study.
