nice of you to think that peoples ability to read and write is decided by the colour of their skin, but to continue, britain has about 58 million people, at most the proportion of ethnic minorities is about 9%, most of whom are 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants or have been here more that 20 years.
school for you.
Ah, you got there just before me. Well said.
I have to say though, the lack of literacy in some people is quite frightening. I had a job in a shop before I went to University and I was once asked to find a task for the cashier to get on with during the quieter moments of the day. I told her to collect all the loose videos in the store cupboard and put them in a box, remembering to label the box when she was finished.
An hour later I found a box, packed and sealed, with the legend, "Vidio's" scrawled across it.
I fear for the future, sometimes, I really do.
