I have to say it's not as bad as what the US Postal Service exam was doing in the 80s and 90s. If you were a female you got five points (out of 100) just for showing up. If you were black you got five. If you were a black female you got the full ten. Seriously, as foolish and unfair as that English school plan is, we would be hypocritical to laugh at them, given our own history with this sort of mockery.
Actually our own history is much more jam-packed with examples of the G.W. Bush method of getting good 'grades' - as in economic class and familial connections. It is hilarious to me that we mock some poor black woman for getting a free pass into some miserable mundane lower-middle class blue collar job, but not the fact that our entire economic and political elite
automatically gets a free pass into power, luxury, and position.
